<DIV>I may have dodged a bullet when I pulled the belly pan off the Focus to
inspect the equipment.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The fuel tank had worked it's way out of the web of nylon straps holding it
in (read as, "loose in the fuse!!!!").</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I bought the plane used and it seemed to be ok, aside from the cheesy
appearance of the fuel tank mounting system. My initial opinions were proven to
be correct. I know how I lock them in for my sport planes, but wanted to see
some other ways that may be more secure.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How are some of you mounting the fuel tank in the Focus?</DIV>
