I've got a QB 10 and flying a 6A Sube right now. Seems like on the 2 or 3 pax flights, some extra fuel would be nice. If others are interested, might offer a kit with doublers, mount, tank, door, pump and vent. Trying to keep it light as it would not be used all the time. I hate to haul a lot of dead weight the rest of the time. I'll keep you informed.

RV6 guy
any news on the fuselage tank? I wouldn't mind an auxiliary tank instead of moving around ballast either!

Pretty old thread to revive, but still a relevant subject. I think more fuel inside the fuselage is a bad idea, since there are plenty of wing tank options available. My two cents....

It's kind of a passive aggressive way to ask Ross if he is ever going to finish his -10!

I have a mate here with a set of tip tanks, they hold about 27L per side, are all sealled and baffled. We made three sets as there was enough material to do so.
We have two tanks. All you need is the pumps and tube etc.
AUD$1000 will get them plus freight of course.

Lyndon Tretherway from Custom Aircraft Centre in Goolwa South Australia assisted with an RV 10 here that he fabrcated additioanal tanks out board of the standard tanks in the leading edge of the wing. The modification gave the owner 100 litres extra each side. If money is a factor this may be an option and may be a safer one at that. Email me if you want his contact details
Jon Johanson has built a 10 with the same mod and from memory it may of even had tip tanks as well (cant be sure onthat one)

Any chance that there's a write-up from either guy? I'm interested in the "wet wing" mod.

The RV 10 that Jon Johanson assisted with was for a company that did mapping or survailance of some type over Antarctica - it had the most amazing cockpit and electrical system you would ever see.
Jon did the test flying
Also it had a huge belly pod much bigger than i have see else where.
I'm not sure what Vans would say about the extra 100 litre custom tank plus tip tanks in each wing but If my memory serves me correctly this is what it had. Over 10 hours endurance !!!
Jon Johanson has a company based in Adelaide - Flymore Pty Ltd, he sells RV accessories, bits and peices.
Drop him a line and ask about the extra tank in the leading edge
