We prototyped one in a RV7 mounted under the Andair valve. Used with the AFP boost pump under the STOCK covers. Was a tight fit, especially near the spar for the valve to gascolator inlet tube. The install works---client wanted it under the stock covers.
WE may play with this more if Blake gets a bunch of interest.

Sorry I should have been more specific. They are installed outboard tucked under the gear weldments. This avoids the heat problems as well as the center bottom fuselage on the outside being a messy area.
