<VV> wanting autocross fun on Left Coast (was Re: [fastvair] Jefferson 500 SP 2015)

[Ken Klingaman]

I've found the Covair gas tank prefers to be between about 6 to 10 gallons in energetic driving, or the results will be as you experienced. I installed something like the Jaz 250-105-01 fuel cell which is 9" long, 11" wide, and 18" tall. No more problems.
