My C27 is inboard powered with an A4. Stock gasoline tank is intact, but it has popped loose from its tabbing AND it's the original tank.
I'm considering scuttling the onboard tank for portable tanks. Stock tank is sound but inside "living" space. Optional tank location is sealed and self-draining from a flammable vapor perspective.
Onboard tank is below motor. Fuel pump overcomes Gravity. External tanks would be above motor. Prone to siphon flooding maybe. Is it safe or advisable to have the fuel tank upwards of a foot above the carburetor?
I don't want a gravity-fed fuel leak due to a poorly seated bowl valve.
Thoughts?
