Tech update: Lost 15 kilos more

The safety tank is in place, and the old steel tank is out. The weight difference is around 10 kilos, and the price for this advantage is a significantly reduced fuel capacity - the new tank contains 12 liters. On the track this is more than enough, as the Danish races are so short that the Spitfire only uses around 4 liters in a heat. On the road the small capacity is going to be a nuisance, as for example a trip from Århus to Padborg Park means refuelling will be necessary. The last 5 kilos in this weekends weight loss programme are from the ditching of the tank of the Lifeline fire extinguisher system. My halon-based system is not legal anymore, and therefore I removed the tank. According to Lifeline it is not possible to substitute the tank with a newer model containing a legal extinguisher substance. I hope to find a solution to this, and so far I have kept the plumbing to the engine department.
