Default Increased My Fuel Capacity by 2 Gallons!
Boy, I bet I'm going to get asked this at every fly-in I go to..."So how did you increase the tank capacity on your -8 from 21 to 22 gallons each side??!!"

Simple....have a brain fart and mis-type the note that goes along with your fuel caps when you send them to the engravers......

Oh well...at least it's unique!

You can increase the gross weight the same way.
