O&N and bladders

[Raptor05121]

Agreed. The only way I would consider bladders is if I could increase my measly 48 gallon capacity to something north of 60 gallons. The C is a perfect 2-place airplane, I've got plenty of useful load I'd rather use for fuel.

I probably have one of the older bladder installations.  Other than the AD that came out back around 2000, I haven't had any issues.

We're I to buy another Mooney, I would definitely want one with bladders.  No question of it.

I think it's called brand P!  Mine has 4 bladders holding 130 gallons.

Of course that's 65 gallons per every 200 hp.

its like 2 M20J's.  two IO-360's end-to-end sharing a crankshaft, twice as much gas in the wings, twice the elbow room, and twice as much speed :)...

Only 4 seats... OTOH, with a useful load of ~1500 pounds you can fill them!

I need to get two new gaskets for my o&n bladder tank caps. Anyone know the best place to buy them? Thanks
