Coupe owners have two options when it comes to their fuel system. [1] They can continue with the existing 3-tank system and make the necessary repairs, or [2] You can install the 2-15-gal wing tanks. It is not possible for anyone to convince those who are happy with their 3-tank system to change. My only comment that cannot be disputed is, "If the 3-tank system were designed into any production airplane today, the FAA would not approve it." I installed the two wing tanks in my Alon because of leaks in the system. The amount of work required to remove the header tank was enough for me to say, "That 30 year-old tank is NOT going back in! I made the choice on my own. I have NEVER regretted it. And I would do it again in a heartbeat! To those who are happy and content with their original system, I do not have a problem with your decision. It does work, and that appears to satisfy your needs. So why change it? The choice becomes and individual decision. Hopefully, this does not escilate into a raging fire that I have seen on this wonderful chat system. George Frebert
