Bladder Tank 10 Gallon Add-On

[Oscar Avalle]

Well to add to the debate. I have the bladders since I bought the plane in 2002 and added the additional 10 Gal in 2014. I love the feeling that I have that additional hour available. This allows me to fly non stop St Louis to KGAi... 4.45 hours... without getting too nervous about fuel. 

Now, do i always fuel up the plane with the 64 gal? No, I try to keep around 50 gallons in the tank unless I have to do a long cross country, like Boston or St Louis.

I'm finding my endurance is a comfortable 5:30-5:45 with 13-14 gallons left in reserve which is about 1+30 for me.

Added the 10 gallons 8 years ago.  Hunt club in Mexico is 600 NM from Yuma.  Extra fuel made the trip much more comfortable with the reserve.

No issues with the O and N since 2002.
