What don't you like about the fuel tank as installed in the POC? My main gripes are:
- It does not appear that you would be able to check the fuel level with a dip stick. I think a translucent plastic tank would be better.
- The position of the tank behind the spar might cause undue weight and balance hassles. I can live with this.
- The riveted sheet metal tank is susceptible to puncture and deformation and will be more difficult to build.
I hope the preproduction -12 has an impact resistant, translucent, plastic tank. If it does not, I think this will be a show-stopper for me and I'll go with another manufacturer.
