Ray,

    On both my ES's I have used one more bay than the manual called for.
Only mod's needed are to make the vent holes at top and bottom of the rib,
re-locate the fuel cap, shorten the tank vent line, and use longer fuel
level probes.  I had to buy the really long level probes and cut them off.
With one additional bay, the fuel capacity was about 90+ gals total, which
gave it an endurance of something like 7 hours, nicely leaned out.  That's a
lot more than my endurance.
