   Post on Longer Legs in Avidfoxflyers General Hangar

   By MarkD, posted 12 Jun 2015

   My model C extended speed wing only has one 18 gallon wing tank in the right wing and the stock half gallon header tank behind the seat on the starboard side.  With the engine and prop set up I have I figure on 5gph burn rate for cross country rides.  That gives me about 3 hours of real flight time and enough time to find a gas station.  I would like to have a bit longer legs for getting out of backcountry strips.  
    
   Has anyone added any kind of larger header tank behind the seat whilst not impacting the folding wing self storing aileron arrangement?  I would like some ideas or pictures of possible set-ups for extending fuel capacity that does not involve ripping apart wings.  If I could add 5 to 6 gallons of additional fuel I could manage 4 hours of real flight time.

   Post on Wing Fuel Tank Needed in Avid Model IV

   By handles, posted 5 Oct 2015

   Anyone out there help me out? I have an Avid Speedwing Mk4 UK based. The fuel tank has rotted due to ethanol. I have removed the tank.
   Few questions,
   Does anyone have a spare tank I could buy for shipment to UK, its 13 gallon right wing (looking out when in cockpit). I could pay by Paypal if needed
   Will a Kitfox tank fit an Avid Wing, if so which Kitfox model tank? I see Kitfox have ethanol resistant tanks
   Has anyone made an aluminium tank?
    
   Many thanks Simon   G-BUIR

   Post on Wing Fuel Tank Needed in KitFox General Forum

   To all the Kitfox owners out there, wonder if you could help me or do you know?
    
   I have an Avid Speedwing Mk 4, the 13 gallon right wing tank (as from the cockpit) has rotted due to ethanol. I see that Kitfox sell ethanol resistant tanks, will a Kitfox tank fit an Avid and if so which model Kitfox?
