 Hi David

Where do you plan to go with all that fuel??
I have the factory solution and that gives you 65 litters in the main
plus 35 in the LR - works great and is a simple set up.
Cruising at 4.300 rpm (IAS 120 knots) I burn 13 L/h.
With 98 litters usable fuel I can assure you that what you need is not
fuel capacity beyond the LR system, but a LR bladder......
But any solutions to the bladder problem would be more than welcome here
....!

Regards Gert

  Hello everyone,

  I am researching long range fuel tanks for Europa's.

  If anyone has, or knows of, a long range tank with greater capacity
  than the standard factory tank, please could you share your knowledge
  with me - off forum if you wish.

  Has any flyer got practical experience of using the factory tank? If
  so, I would like to hear from you.

  Many thanks to you all.

  Finally, has anyone any experience of curing intermittent readings on
  the Avalec fuel monitor?
