I agree . The larger main tank , even with the mods to hold the larger tank would out weigh the additional plumbing, pumps and electrical required to pump the gas to the original 29 gal. tank .

Has anyone ever turned glass wing tips into Aux tanks on the T18? It would seem like a good place for a small stash of extra fuel. |

My observation would be that the payback would be minimal for the effort involved. Maneuvering with fuel in the tanks might also be an issue. The Lockheed T-33 had limits when the tip tanks contained fuel (as does my T-18 when the wing tanks are used.) I like Dave Reed's "big tank" option better. |
