Welcome Collin.

That fueltanks product is very impressive, but you are going to run into trouble with an Alp as the finished product isn't going to line up with the fairing unless there is a lot more (expensive) fabrication or a completely different means of expanding the tank than the pictures show. A pity, cos I got HUGELY excited when I read your first note!

Good to see another Alper to enjoy this weather!

Hi Coppsie. Welcome. Can't answer the tech questions, but lots on here who can & will. If you don't get a reply here, post on the AT section. Meantime, you'll soon find out there's a strong Irish contingent here who'll soon make themselves known .
