Hi! Brian ,
If Mod 53 was my long range tank mod. The issue that was originally thrown up was the exit pipe should have a finger filter fitted.

For UK owners, I am not sure the LAA ever approved the use of the Mod 53 Long Range Tank Mod. Francis had some issue with it that I have forgotten. It is not listed as an approved manufacturer mod in the current TADS. I still have a brand new/unused tank - open to offers!

I fitted it on my plane and used it on various long distant trips including the Dawn to dusk Challenge I did with my son (newly diagnosed with MND/ALS ) back in 2010, where we visited all 119 islands named on the UK 1/2 mill charts and covered a bit over 1700nm in a day at speed with 3 stops. Worked perfectly.

Hi! William,
My Suggestion on these issues is to fix an electric transfer pump . How sick would you be ( or deadly unpleased !) to run out of fuel and still have a supply in the blessed Long Range Tank ? ( except you can't hear it so don’t forget to switch it off when empty !)

Seems to me if you are pumping into the main tank anyway, fitting another filter would not serve a great purpose other than being the department of redundant redundancy.
It would however prevent damage to a aux tank pump. Depending on how fine the filter is or how clogged it would effect the siphon as well.
Intersting experimental experiment.
