MarkI see the point you are getting to, however, tanks that have the pickup on thetop will have a tube that goes down to the bottom of the tank internally. If theline is ruptured the whole tank wont drain instantly and how does that getyou closer to the runway? Don't get me wrong, these are all worthwile thingsto discuss.As for the point on condensation in the tank, a point well taken, just yesterdayi finished a complete going over of my entire fuel system that included removingthe main wing tank, cleaning installing finger strainer, replacing the fuelline to the nose header tank, cleaning out the header tank, removing and cleaningthe cascolator and carb bowl. I take the annual inspection seriously forfuel. It probably causes more engine failures than anything in flight.Dick N.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

Jerry's post mentioning the O-235 made me remember to post the latest on "my" O-235. We decided yesterday that the engine is too old and probably cannot get parts for it and if the parts are available they would probably cost an arm and leg. It's a WW2 version (the engine - not my arm and leg. Although, come to think about it, my arms and legs are WW2 versions, also.) So I've decided to go a different route. Close your ears, Jack, probably a Corvair.----- Original Message -----

Shad,Don't use fiberglass if you are planning on any auto gas. It will not be good.Dad has a glass tank in his KR-2 and while using auto gas the tank melted. Of coarse there were fumes in the cockpit first then came the leaks. It happenedto him twice. Mike Madrid also had it happen in his GN-1. He finally tookthe J-3 tank out of his Flybaby and put it in the Piet. A metal tank is theonly way to go if you are considering anything other then aircraft fuel. Rememberthat what ever replaces 100LL will need to be compatible with compositeairframes. There are too many production aircraft to do anything else. My nosetank is out of an Opal Kadet car and my center section tank is a Cessna 140wing tank. That gives me 22 gallons usable.
