I believe that Larry Flesner has wing tanks also located just behind the
spar. This would also accomplish moving the CG forward as fuel burns.

My fuel tanks, 12.5 gal each, are located in each outer wing panel.
They start 1/2 inch (foam) behind the forward spar and extend
toward the trail edge 10 inches.  They run the entire length of
the outer wing panel from root to 36 inch tip rib.  I had them
figured mathmaticly at 12.5 gal before building and they turned
out to be about 12.8 gal each.  Because the main portion of
the tanks are within the CG range, my CG location moves 
forward approx 1 inch from full tanks to empty tanks.
