Richard, Yes. photo of the build sage attached.
Essentially I made an outline pattern by cutting a
longitudinal midline (of the seat well) partition and two
transverse partitions, analogous to the partitions you can
see in the tank. I sellotaped them together to insure that
I could get the resultant solid shape in and out. The
base is a 5 layer bid splash moulding of the seat pan
with the edges turned up vertically for a couple of
inches. The sides are of high quality foam with 3 layers
bid outside and 2 inside all the joints are made with flox
going about 1cm into each panel edge then covered with
tapes of same nos of bid in and out. There is a small sump
at the back of the system, and also a recess for the
starboard spar pin. All partitions are vented at their
tops and bottoms. It works with a syphoning system that I
bought from Europa - designed for their long range tank.
It is retained by the seat belts with extra multiple loop
straps around the top and front, calculated to resist 10g
in any direction.
Flow rates demonstrated to exceed max 914 consumption. I
had previously by the way left a bit of bid/foam/bid panel
in avgas & mogas for some weeks without being able to
detect any sort of degradation.
Regards, David
