I agree with BOTH the group who dislike the safety risk of the three tank system and with those who dislike the safety risk of the 30 gallon tank system.
Admittedly, our very old aluminum tanks could catastrophically fail dumping a lot of fuel in our laps so I'd want something to reinforce the tank. WHAT I WANT: A replacement header tank made of nearly indestructible materials. Kevlar? Bladder inside aluminum? I'd give up a gallon of capacity for increased strength. Remember the foil system they used to advertise at Oshkosh. They would shoot tracer bullets through the tanks and get only a small flame as fuel slowly leaked from the hole -- no massive leak or explosion. Is this stuff still available? I would like to stay with the no-fuel-mismanagement (short of running out) fuel system, but I think there's room for improvement. This would be a low volume sales item. It's not a casual or cheap thing to pull out that tank, is it? -- Ed Burkhead Peoria, Ill. Ercoupe N3802H, 415-D
