Hi Karl,
What exact heavy duty marine tank model do you speak, plastic or metallic?
How many liters? Do you have web site adress for this tank?
Thanks
Michel

Kevin,
I have been using a portable 25 liter heavy duty marine tank, firmly
strapped into the passenger seat (I added an eyebolt at the bottom front
wall of the seat for an extra strap), with quickfit connectors, and easily
plumbed in to the main tank inlet (aluminum elbow). An automotive fuel pump
is also plumbed into the fuel line. Of course, one or more tanks could also
go into the baggage area, so long as they are secure. If of real interest, I
can look up the details. Thomas Scherer probably used something similar on
his flight across the Pacific, also Eric Trombley has a marine tank
I think David Joyce is preparing for his flight to Australia.
