BTW, my "footer" tank is on the engine side of the firewall, top of the
tank is just below the main tank sumps.  The height of the tank is 6

inches,

and  the bottom inch or so is in the airstream of the big naca inlet (on

the

fuselage bottom) to the radiators.  This should have the effect of keeping
that tank and it's contents cool.  Will probably make my new tank of steel
though, as I said before (crash and fire resistance).

To put it on the fuselage side of the firewall, it would have to go
under the passenger seat, not too crazy about that either, and it's a

difficult

place to get to.  It would also not be a very big tank in that area, and

would

not get  any cooling air.

Disregard my previous post as it applies to Perry.  I opened the next
message to find that he's got a long-EZ and I'm ranting about his firewall
digging in if crash landed.  Hope you had a chuckle Perry :)  For the rest
of you flying tractor A/C the comments are valid.
