New to this discussion but I have a question. Why don't more people use
aluminum fuel tanks? I remember reading of people making wing tanks that
laid along the spar out of irrigation pipe of 4-6" diameter. A header tank
similar to the stock glass one could be fabbed up easily as well. It would
probably be lighter to use aluminum also.
If Tig welding is not available or affordable, non-structural aluminum
components such as fuel tanks could be made of 20 series aluminum and gas
torch welded in most home shops.
Just throwing this out there. Feel free to shoot it full of holes. It's all
part of the invention/ education process.
