IIRC the stock tank is 12gal...
I'm to fit a Blue Mountain EFIS Sport in my plane, which is 5x6x9"
device...
However, since I'm in A-Stan, I don't actually have access to the plane
to see if it will fit...
And I don't have any plans/etc (I bought the plane online, while here -
it's in storage in Florida, until I get home), the best way I can think
of to plan things out is to get details from this list...
