Larry I love this idea but, your pic shows only 1 tube recessed into the ribs. How do you get 12 gal per side with only 1 tube? I calc that one 5"x72" tube is 6 gal. Here is what I came up with for 12 gallons. http://www.kr2seafury.com/11.html, scroll down and hit refresh if you don't see it at first.
And I thought the engine decision was going to be hard. This fuel tank business is a much harder decision. But I am zeroing in on my design.

They run from root to tip and extend only 10 inches behind the forward spar. From full to empty tanks my C.G. shifts forward 1 inch. I seldom run them completely full. Most of my local flying is done with 1/4 to 3/4 full tanks. fo.html
