I'm in the process of some minor surgery on my Staggerwing. I've decided to change my single tank arrangement to twin tanks, one feeding each cylinder. I found a pair of Sullivan "slant-oval" 12 ounce fuel tanks that should fit in place of the old single tank without extensive mods. I found myself outrunning my fuel supply on the last few flights and attribute it to the single fuel line with tee arrangement. I'll also have to add a second Dubro quick fueler. I'm also going to fabricate a support for the exhaust header just above where it exits the cowl as I'm getting some play. Last, I'm going to have to enlarge the hot air exit at the bottom of the cowl. It's not cooling quite as well as I'd like and I think the 2" x 3" hole is a bit too small.

You are making the right modifications and should be pleased with the results. I'm utilizing two 14 oz DuBro tanks with a separate muffler tap to each tank with my Enya VT-240 and two 12 oz DuBro tanks with a Saito 182 TD twin.
Please post your results,
