Re: Does everyone use the bladder fuel tanks?

Chip
I made my tanks.
I put trap doors in (2 in either side, 1 at the rear 1 at the halfway point) so under brakes they shut and hold the fuel up in the rear off the tanks.
The tanks pump to a second tank (10lt at the rear of the R/H tank) this is then pumped to the engine.
If your main tanks do surge it does not matter as you are drawing from the 10lt tank.
You can shorten one tank to accommodate the surge tank.
Sounds similar to what you are thinking about.
