Part of the conversion project included adding belly and baggage compartment auxiliary fuel tanks. My question is for Lancair IV owners with similar auxiliary fuel set ups. Is there any reason that I should avoid filling all tanks and allowing the airplane to sit several days? Is it possible to "create" leaks by filling all tanks and allowing the fuel to expand due to heat? If installed and sealed properly, is the belly tank as robust as the wing tanks? Thanks in advance for your response.
