As dave says, the firewall shouldn't be a problem. You don't need a carb heater, but Transport Canada does. You also need an ELT and First Aid kit. You can take a look at my Skydrive heater installation.
But can't you fly it on the American registration for a while, like a year, it gives you time to make any mods.

Subject: Firewall material vs Canada "fireproof material" airworthiness requirement
To: europa-list(at)matronics.com

Hello to you all

I'm well progressing on my way to importing an Europa "classic" from the USA.

I have had a few chats with the ppl in charge of inspections of amateur-built aircrafts at Transport Canada (http://www.md-ra.com) about their requirement for the firewall be made of a "fireproof material", like stainless or galvanized steel.

However, he also stated that I could use any other material that has been used on any other Canada-airworthy Europa ! 

So, the question to all CANADIAN Europa owners: what is your Europa firewall made of ?

Also, do all the Canadian Europas have carb heat on their Rotax  engines ?  If so, which origin ?  My 912 currently does not have one...

Regards,

Luc

It depends on where you live. In a dry climate you can do it this way,
in a wet climate like the Netherlands it is better to keep the tank
filled all the time:
Temperatures tend to vary a lot, with every change in temperature the
air in the tank expands or contracts, so the tank "breaths" a lot. With
every drop of temperature the tank sucks in some new air, and together
with the air you draw in a lot of moisture from the air. With repeated
temperature changes you get condensation on your tank walls, and if
there is ethanol in the fuel, you won't find any water in the drains
because the ethanol binds the water. Until it is saturated, and as the
saturation point is determined by altitude and temperature, it often
happens during flight that the water suddenly drops out.
Keeping the tank full at all times is a good guard against water
collection in the fuel.
