[QUOTE="97Aero, post: 353238, member: 13053"] Great advise on here from everyone. The Engineer/Mechanic is me wants to do this. I opened up the front hatches and took out the liners and there is a lot of room up there. Actually a lot of wasted space considering the way the liners sit. As Jonah said previously these jets defiantly drink the gas so I am leaning toward having the best of both worlds, two tanks. Have one up front for running the rivers around here where the water is skinny and the aft one for reserve when going on extended lake trips to eliminate fill ups. I am defiantly going to test this theory out with some dead weight up front to see if it does flatten it out any or changes the handling characteristics before I start bending metal for tank mounting. Found a $12 gal Moeller tank for $150 that would fit the bill nicely as far as dimensions. We'll see how it goes and will post lots of pics of the install. I am fortunate to work for a Aircraft modification company so theres plenty of scrap tin around and tools to bend it with. Thanks [/QUOTE]
