I am working with an A&P/IA to build a homebuilt aircraft with wood wings. We are going to add wing fuel tanks in place of the fuel tank between the engine and cockpit for both safety and weight and balance purposes.

In researching this, we have come across numerous ways that fuel tanks have been installed in wood wings of other aircraft and have even come up with a few ideas of our own. What we would like to know is if there is one method of installation that is better than the others or one that the FAA recommends over another?

Thanks,

Jon
