Mike,
I can't tell whether your tougue is firmly in your cheek there - I think it
must be. I always understood bladder tanks were an alternative approach to
having fuel vents, since the tank expands and contracts according to the
volume of fuel remaining.
For me there's little correlation
If a relief tube is done correctly, it will SUCK it out of the airplane and
you!!

The first part of a relief tube is uphill. Residual fluid has to
go somewhere. Think Gravity, Virg

Relief tubes are vital for most flights, long or short, because drinking enough
water to keep hydrated results in safer landings and safer taxi speeds (better
mental acuity, and fewer bodily distractions in the last hour of confinement.)
In the summer I freeze a water bottle to sit on during

There seems to be a lot of concern about having so much fuel capacity
that the flight will be so lengthy that the pilot's bladder capacity will
be exceeded. Pilots & aircraft manufacturers solved this problem in the
early days of aviation and I'm astonished that some members of the KR

Good morning,My KR2 has a 24 gallon header tank.As mark says it is not user
friendly when working behind the panel.For day time VFR it is not a big
problem but once you start into high tech land it becomes an issue.An
example of flying long distance would be the trip made from Cross City
FL.to
On my 3XL KR2S the Stub wing tanks calculated out to 14.5 Gal each.
They are aluminum following the contour of the airfoil between the
Spars. My stub wings are 2 feet long. The Header tank, I am guest-a-mating
at 18-20 Gal. I will have to find that out when I fill it.

A thousand mile range isn't unrealistic with these planes based on all the
stats I've heard. My point was that I'm not going to spend all this time
building an airplane just to pee in it...I'm going to have to land every
few hours.

I am planning on about 24 gallons myself...I figure my bladder isn't any
bigger than that.
