I am using 4 of the factory tanks (two in baggage area and two on front 
seat.)

If they lose prime it is due to air finding its way into the system. I 
found the supplied 'clicking tube-fasteners' to not be airtight enough.

I seccond the use as canisters for auto fuel.

Happy landings !

We use the factory long ranger tank in our mono-wheel XS.  I works
fairly well, although we have problems with it losing its 'prime',
requiring us to periodically reach back and pump the priming bulb a 
few
times.

The extra ten gallons of gas is not only useful for extending our 
range,
but allows us to carry around an extra supply of auto gas instead of
having to buy 100LL at airports we visit.  We prefer not to burn 100LL
if we can help it, as it fouls the plugs, etc.

Does anyone use extended range fuel tanks and if so, what type and
where?
Thanks
