 |

Group:
I am looking at a 701 that is for sale. It is a 1986 model that was completed in 1991. It has a total fuel capacity of 13 gallons. It has a 5 gallon header tank and two 4 gallon tanks in the wings.
Does anyone know if Zenair used to make 4 gallon wing tanks ?
Thanks.

I have two 701’s, one built in the early 90’s and one and one built in early 2000. Both have 5-GAL tanks, or so I was told when I got the airplanes. I called Zenith and they knew of them but did not provide any real information. I have not heard of any 4-gal tanks, but a scratch builder could have built anything that he wanted.

I seem to remember something about the wing tank
option only being 4 Gal when they were first installed
in the CH-701. Given the vintage of the kit, it is
likely that is what has happened.
Also, it is possible that they are 4 Imp Gal or 5 US
Gal. Since Zenair (not Zenith) is/was a Canadian
company, it is possible that the 4 gallons (Imp) is
just the rough equivalent of five US Gallons.
