Default Why can't we simply increase tank size for more flight time?

Other than considering increased weight, what are the disadvantages and contraindications to plugging in a larger fuel tank in glow planes to maximize air time, if the tank sits at or near the COG? For example, if you're only getting 8 minutes on a 10 oz tank, why not put in a 14+ oz tank? Thanks
