I did some calculations for tube tanks before and came to the conclusion that unless you can do a 11 to 12 in tube and it can be atleast 11 feet long you won't carry enough fuel to make any real difference. It takes atleast a 7 in diameter by 7 in length to make one gal......

Someone stated(last week I think) added fuel adds to the time in the cockpit. (small cockpit). I have been looking at options about added fuel. I have a dated KR with retracts. No room in the stub wing for added tanks. I have been looking at options of adding tanks in the outer wings. CG is a big part of my concern. My idea is to take an Aluminum tube 5 -6 inces in diameter and fit it into the void on the leading edge of the wing. I would like sone feed back from the group.
