Hello Bob,

I'm sorry to hear, that you are facing health problems again. Indeed a cracked
tank is a problem others would happily like to exchange for their problems. This
in mind I will think of you on the 23 August and cross my fingers that all
goes well!

Although my trailer is white with OAT exceeding 38C the temperatures inside will
be even 5-10C higher I guess. I always refuel to the top when leaving the plane
for a longer time to prevent condensation and to minimize the risk of cracking.

Anyway I'm almost committed to the metal tank. The only disadvantage I could 
think
of is that it's (maybe?) more prone to condensation. I also wouldn't be keen
to be the guinea pig, but I'm less concerned, since at least some owners have
done it successfully already.

But even if I get a new fuel tank from Europa I take it from Bud's comments, 
that
they are at least much better than the early ones in the meantime.

I'll let you all know about my decisions in due course.

Regards
Roland
