Default RE: Fuel Tank/Balance Question

John, while I agree the Hayes tanks are good tanks there are two problems with them. You must install them right side up because of the molded in vent nipple. If you have a plane that takes a tank that is wider than it is high, you can not use a Hays tank. Second, if you have a cowled in engine requiring a three line fuel system, the Hayes tanks won't work because there is no way to locate the fill line inside the tank so that the tank can be emptied. Most of my planes fall into one or both categories.
