90 litre fuel tank for aquilla

[powerfly]

Jan van Vuuren has made a mould for a 90 litre fuel tank and wondering how many people would be interested in the tank for their aquilla's. see attached pic.

Any interested parties can contact Jan on: 0837805505

Will this require CAA approval as it is a modification?

[Arnulf]

I would be interested. The only problem I foresee with my Aquilla 912 is that the tank will block off the water and oil radiators.

Regards,
Arnulf

It will require approval


Take note before you fit it. If anything happens ##

Get the mod approval first


Just my 2 cents

Cheers

Maybe just some approval from Solo wings? But yes i would be interested, if it looks good and fits snug and priced right.

This sounds good!

how would one get the fuel from the one leg to the other or is it balanced at the bottom of the tank
Would it fit a Windlass?

Are you sure because sometimes doing the wrong thing is the right thing

I'm still confused

Balance pipe between the legs, as per standard Aquilla tank.

Do you have a pic of this installed in an Aquilla? Just to see what it looks like installed and what the clearance is? (For under-tank pannier bags. i.e. the ones you mount under the fuel tank)
Thanks

Just one question. Why did you not buy a tank from Solowings? They have a 50l tank that straps on to your current tank making it 100L in total. I personally know a pilot who had this done by Solowings and it works very well indeed! The tank straps are crossed to prevent it from swinging. You can pump over via an electric fuelpump or have a "gravity feed" if you dont like the electric stuff.
