Bob, appreciate your thoughts on the post crash fires cited in the recent
AOPA article.  Yes, that was the recent and only  source of my
information; my  never having heard that one before.    I've had my coupe
since 1982 and have appreciated the simplicity and reliability of the
fuel system, still do.  That is why I haven't opted for any conversion
such as Skyport's conversion kit.   I  have noted, however,  that one of
the selling points of the long range conversion sold by Skyport is that
it touts  the removal of the center tank from the cockpit area.  Of the
Ercoupe off field landings, fender benders, that I know of  by others,
there was no post crash fire.  I still long for the safest type tanks
available.  If the original tanks are just as safe as any, that's good. 
I am open to learn any and all information on this subject.
