    I Think the tank will fit, but you will have the filler neck on the inboard side of the tank and the outlet on the outboard side and because of the dihedral you will never be able to fill completely, or drain completely. If there are no other tanks available out there, this might be fixable, though.

    Washout may be a problem as the spars will be at the wrong angles, but with patience also fixable.

    I think there was a Kitfox tank on ebay a while back that didn't sell. Maybe if you post some want adds on Barnstormers and all the Kitfox related sites, you will find what you need. Might even be able to trade the tank you have for what you want. It's worth a shot anyway. Jim Chuk

    I thought on the model 2 kit was supplied with the 6gal. aluminum wing tanks? I also thought the filler was in the center as opposed to offset to one side. At least, that is what I seem to recall from my model 3 which had the main panel tank and a small right aux wing tank. Wing twist might not be a big deal with the narrower 6gal. tanks, makes some sense to think they may have been manufactured with no provision for washout so they could be used interchangeably on either wing??

    There are a couple of tanks for sale on barnstormers.

    I've still got a pair of III wings to get rid of.
