I was able to manage 14.5 gallons in the nose and keep it completely up out ofthe way of the passengers feet and shins. It's all in the design and shape ofthe tank. I can't imagine wanting any more fuel. I have an A-65 so that iswell over 3 hours of flying time. My longest leg has been 2 hours and 20 minutes.Not good! An hour and a half for me is just fine for time aloft in thePiet. If I am going somewhere, it is a much happier day of Piet traveling ifI make 4 or even 5 hour and a half legs than it is to make 2 or 3 maximum rangelegs.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2011 12:59:04 -0700 (PDT)
