    But as others have said: Why? Also, the standard wing rib spacing and bracing wires will not allow, unless you make custom tanks.
    I do know someone in Canada did it, about 30 years ago in a tandem Taylorcraft, but there is a smaller fuselage tank.

    I'd be interested to understand your reason for the question!

    field approval, I did it, just move some ribs and the tanks fit fine. Plumbing is a pain in the a$$ though to feed the header, the outboards need to have the lines follow along the rear spar. Tim

      Fair enough.
      I have some photos from many years ago from a chap in Canada who did similar in a L-model Taylorcraft, they are from one of Bruce Bixler's (bless him) old TOC newsletters.

        I have a friend in Hood River Oregon, who has an aluminum right wing tank and said he would let it go pretty reasonably. PM me if interested.

            I have a right one that someone welded in a patch and then prosealed it. Dont know if it leaked or was done as a precaution. If you are interested make me an offer.
