Dave McCandless in Perth W.A. Oz has done this. He has a 30 ltr tank in
each wing.
Unfortunately Dave has developed an intolerance to epoxy and his kit is
up for sale.
I did once have a sketch of his arrangement. If anybody is interested, I
may be able to find it in my too hard basket.
I did not proceed with it because I have wiring conduits through the
wing ready for closure. If I dont call a halt to new mods I will never
get to fly.
