Unknown Luftwaffe Fuel Tank - Thoughts?
 

Hey guys...

Well...here is an odd one.

I suspect for some sort of trainer...found in Eastern Europe.

72 grade fuel is really early low-grade...not the standard fuel type.

It is welded aluminum, with a fabric covering...and painted.

In addition...there is no spot for a fuel pump to mount...

Thoughts?

TIA

Looks like a high-wing, leading edge, civilian, gravity feed tank.

Hello!

The Gerner G II R had a fuel tank on the upper wing.

What about a Fi156 Storch/ K-65 Cap wing tank? The position of the two (fuel line and socket for the gauge) outlets would make this a starboard (right) tank.
