Interesting and practical Barry,
In my personal experience, I've found a far more pressing limitation to
endurance.
The solution is generally found in the application of a rather primitive but
effective,
empty plastic soft drink bottle purchased from the local supermarket.
Accuracy is vital when used. The embarrasment factor is high, especially on
landing
at a busy airfield.
...... just excuse the contents as a rather obscure beverage that proved
distasteful and
dump in the nearest drain soon after landing.

For those of you using the long range tank or those considering fitting the
same
Hi folks!
you might be interested in the following mod.
The extra tank feed is only by siphon so if the main tank is not empty then
the
extra tank will always have a cosiderable amount of fuel in it making it not
so
convenient to use for short periods.
Many of us received last year a higher capacity fuel pump from Europa. I
have
fitted the old pump in the feed line from the extra tank to the main tank.
After flight (or during flight) just pump the remaining fuel from the extra
into
the main tank and take the empty tank with you!!
I do not know if you UK guys will need a PFA mod for something like this.
Best regards
Barry Tennant
