FT-5606 fuel tank fits. just. I will place the fuel fill aft, with the tank forward, against the aft wall of the cockpit sole. Then move the deck stiffening rib forward 6 ". The tabbing has ruptured on the forward side of the stiffening rib anyways.
The last 2 pics I flipped the tank around from the way I will install it to show how the 2x4 stiffener interferes.
My 2x4 deck stiffener had ruptured the tabbing and flexed. I suspect others have the same issue with cloth. I think 2 layers of biax would have been better than one 0/90
