The header is removed and two 15 gallon wing tanks are installed. The end nose rib of the wing is removed and the tanks go out to the next rib. An electric fuel pump is installed on the fire wall and the gascolator is moved to the firewall. And new shut off is on the left side of the cabin by the pilots left leg. At least this is how mine was setup.
