One approach that I took was to remove all fuel storage from the cockpit. I have tanks in the outer wing panels only. My intent was to place the fuel as far as possible from any ignition sources, and in the case of a post crash fire, possibly buy me some time to RUN LIKE HELL !!!!!!!!!!!! Larry Flesner
