Sorry, all the tanks that were ordered were order and installed in A30's. As 
for which plane the fittings were installed.....I am doing this from memory 
(which is not as good as it used to be) but I believe it was the 12.5 x 22 
side which would be at the top of the tank once installed. I'll check my 
tank this weekend to verify, and post a note to exactly which part of the 
tank was the top....so don't place an order yet.

Mike;
  In your 7/3/01 posting you made reference to all fittings being mounted 
"on
the top of the tank." Which plane/side (the 12.5" x 22" or the 16" x 22")
were you referencing?  Do you still have any of these 23 tanks left and if
so would you being willing to part with one?
