As everyone has said an additional 2 oz in tank size will be ok....the problem with bigger tanks is weight of the fuel, but more important is airspace that needs to be filled with exhaust...the engine will only put out so much exhaust.....if the tank is so big that you don't fill the void you can have fuel flow problems....causing dead sticks
good flyin to all
could you clarify more please, this goes against all my education as follows
1)an engine has no clue as to the size of tank delevering the fuel, nor does it matter
2) as long as an engine receives the four basic elements, fuel, air, compression and ignition, it will run
3) as long as an engine is running, it will produce exhaust
4) as long as exhuast is being produced, the tank will recieve pressure
as for weight, if my math is correct, with 2oz of fuel, you would add, 1oz or 15grams of weight
