Bobcat Hopper position
Guys, installing the tanks currently in a Bobcat, currently the saddle tanks are in position and fit fine, according to the drawings a 16oz hopper tank fits on end in between the two saddle tanks.
The hopper tank I have been supplied by the client I don't believe is the BVM unit and as a result the fuel fitting to the tank really gets in the way of the saddle tank fuel pipes and nesesitates tight bends in the Tygon fuel tube.
My question is can the hopper be positioned above the saddle tanks, or is good old gravity playing a major part here?
There is room to raise it a few inches off the bottom so the top is touching the inside of the fuselage, and the bootom is clear of the saddle tank feed nipples.
