It is not possible to use the wing for fuel. Unless you want to design your own plane, you will have to build it like it was designed. I have completed one wing and only have the tip to install on the other one.

Jim, You're right on this one, and you're wrong, too. There are two ways to put tanks in your wings.
One, get a letter of authorization from Van's allowing the change. The letter must mention your aircraft's N number and it is good for that airplane only.
Two, present the airplane to the FAA exactly as Van's designed it, get your E-LSA airworthiness certificate, and then install them. Once you have the ELSA AC you can do anything you want, all it takes is a log book endorsement and put the plane back into phase one testing for five hours.

Rick,
One, I doubt that Van’s will give a letter of authorization to do this change.
Two, the wing is not set up in such a way that this would be possible. It is not like the other RV wings at all. That is why I suggested that you would have to design your own plane, or at least redesign the wings. That would be a monumental task.

Jim, I didn't say it would be practical to do it, either way, just that you could.
