    This is not my system and I have no knowledge of it. I just saw it on eBay and thought I'd share. http://www.ebay.com/itm/142102700768

    I've been thinking while I'm swapping out my old 76cf steel tank, I'd replace it with a 115cf kevlar tank: 5 lbs lighter 50% more capacity and 5 year intervals on hydro tests = win, win, win. I got ahold of the "oxygen lady" at Aerox. She said since the aircraft originally came with 76cf tank I have to put the same size back in it - I could use kevlar but it has to be 76cf. Please excuse my ignorance in this subject but it seems like there should be an STC for this modification? Has anyone successfully up-sized their O2 tank or is the oxygen lady correct?

    Yes, it has on board o2 but the tank is old and due to be replaced.

    I just bought my first mooney, a 1980 m20k 231, and flew her home today. What a neat machine! Does anyone have a lead on an o2 tank? I was thinking maybe something carbon fiber or aluminum to keep the weight low. John

    Thanks for the offer! Seems like there are a lot of active people on here. With the help of this site, I found a mechanic last night. I'm going to give the cfi's listed above a call today to see if it'd be possible to line one of them up. Thanks for the help folks!

    I'm looking for a pre-purchase inspection on a modified 231 in the Jacksonville, FL / Gainesville area. Does anyone know of a good mechanic who is either in the area or willing to travel for a reasonable price? Also, does anyone have a good checklist of items to check on a 231 during a pre-buy? I may also need some transition training. Does anyone know of a good instructor in the area? Thank you, John
