John,

Your fuel burn sounds about right.



I have extended tanks one bay and get 52gal max. My airfoil has a smaller

radius and more gentle ramp back however.

I figure 2galls unusable but it is a bit less.

I would suggest you level the aircraft, get some tanks and carefully measure

exactly how much goes in and disconnect your fuel line and carefully measure

how much comes out.  I actually had to do this to calibrate my electronic

fuel gauges and about as much fun as pro-sealing the tanks.



Vapor lock.....The only trouble I had was in the summer in Phoenix or Palm

Desert while ideling waiting for my clearance.  I have had trouble with the

push-pull cables seizing up when hot - prior to installing them in

firesleave.



Oil Temp?  Get the largest cooler you can find/afford!



Good Luck!

Rob
