What’s involved in wet wing lng range tank conversion

Probably never do this but it would be nice to have the capability to fly from Cincinnati to Denver non stop.

Is there any structural improvements needed in the wing or is it basically adding another filler neck, adding the weep through holes at the bottom of the ribs and adding sealant? How much capacity is gained when done to a J model?

Consider digital fuel floats when going through the planning phase...

Connected to a digital engine monitor...

Combined with GPS data...

Possibly the best fuel knowledge a pilot can have...

Fuel burn to destination. alarm if not going to make it...

Lots of details to get right... lots of benefits if done properly...

PP thoughts only, not an instruments guy...

Best regards,

How in the world did I miss that discussion?? That sure filled in a lot of blanks.

Pilato mentioned, in that discussion, an AN fitting to transfer the fuel, is this a siphon method or just a hole at the bottom between the standard cell and the added cell?
