Cessna 180 Aux fuel options.

Have you modified your aircraft? STC? STOL Kit? Major rebuild from just a data plate?

Cessna 180 Aux fuel options.

So long story short I am looking for some kind of option for a 20 gallon or so aux fuel tank for my 180 that can be down in the fuselage somewhere. I am aware of the old school Javelin tanks but finding info on them is nearly impossible, and they ruin the flat floor between the standard baggage and the air-glass external baggage. Maybe a small belly pod tank would work? Any knowledge y'all have on the subject would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Cessna 180 Aux fuel options.

O&N aux tanks were very similar to Javelin.
Apparently Griggs Aircraft now holds the O&N STC's.

If you value your baggage space and CG, install a set of Flint tanks in the tips.

If I ever locate a set of these that will fit into my 170B I'll buy them in a heartbeat.
