Hola Claudio,  I  get about another 5 gallons per side into the extended
fuel bay. It's a bit of a pain to install the tunnel and vent line and
there's that much more fuel sealing to worry about but I think that it's
worth it. I have the Vision Micro fuel quantity system and have found it to
be accurate to the gallon so that you can still be confident of the fuel on
board even when you don't fill it up. (I've only been filling it when I'm
going on a really long trip or when I find really cheap fuel). Basically it
adds 200nm range with very little weight or cost penalty.
