This has been suggested before (maybe Mark L.?), I think, but I would first scan the speed shops on the web and see if a ready-made tank could be found that could be either fitted in to the wings, stubs, or fuselage as a permanent or temporary aux tank for traveling. Maybe someone who has done this and found something that would work could chime in here. I've seen several 2-place Sonerai's that used an outboard motor tank as aux. tanks. If my memory serves, Steve B. had an aux tank built into a wing stub of his original KR-1 and then used a Koehler fuel pump to hand pump the gas to the header.

That keeps the fuel very close to the CG and with burn off the CG moves forward. Not a bad deal at all. How about a couple of aluminum tube tanks behind the spar and a smaller one on the front side? The options are numerous.
