fit the seat area. I planned to make it about 8" high, and it would
make a shelf on which I could put baggage.
I thought I would plumb it into the existing gas line feed and vent
system, with 1/4" inlets and outlets.
Because the tank would be above the bottom of the main gas tank and
below the top of the main tank as well, it could be filled by filling
the main tank and waiting for the fuel to flow into the aux tank.
Then you fill the main tank to the top and off you go.
Using fuel in the tank is automatic, because it flows into the main
tank as fuel is taken out of the main tank.
The down side is that I did a test with water, and I figured that the
aux tank would take about 20 minutes to fill, after the main tank was
topped off.
Aircraft Spruce sells gas fittings that close when they're
disconnected. Very cool.
I haven't built this contraption, so I can't report how well it works
in practice.
