Wing tank construction officially began on Wednesday. I thank all the KR family members who contributed to my decision making process and with knowledge and experience with each type of fuel tank construction. I debated and decided back and forth between glass and aluminum. I am not exactly sure what factors contributed to my choosing aluminum, but it was probably that I could build the tank outside the wing and fully leak test it, before installing it in the wing. These tanks measure out to 10.6 gallons each, which should give me at least 18 gallons usable.
My plan is to fully document the process of building and retrofitting these tanks into the RAF 48 Diehl Wing Skin wings. However the original drawing comes from a person who designed them for his "new wing". I will document all the parts, source, and cost. http://krbuilder.org/ConvertingToWingTanks/index.html Daniel R.
