Hi All,

Has anyone out there put together their own axillary fuel tank design? I 
am looking for ideas, probably a commercially available plastic tank 
that could be strapped into the baggage area of  an XS mono. I have the 
Singleton fuel tank outlets with vacant taps because I elected to not 
install a sight gage, so I am considering plumbing in there, to the Main 
side, and not siphoning as the Europa design does.Any one doing 
something like that?

I would buy a Europa  aux tank but the cost is just a bit crazy, with 
the dollar so low.
Anybody got one they want to let go?

I am not yet flying, but with the 914 cruising at 16 to 18 grand it 
would seem that 18.5 gallons is a bit limiting? It'd be nice to keep 
going on long XC flights once you are way up there cruising along at 200 
mph TAS.

Kevin
