Extended Range Fuel Tanks
                                                                                              Patent Pending
Designed and manufactured by
Hotel Whiskey Aviation, LLC


   Van's RV-4 lends itself very well to additional fuel for owners who use the airplane for cross country operations. Hotel Whiskey Aviation originally designed the ER Tanks with the RV-4 in mind. Main fuel tanks in the RV-4 are the shortest of all the RVs which allows a relatively long ER Tank to be installed. The ER Tanks add range while improving overall performance and safety of the RV-4.

   ER Tanks for the RV-4 add 8.2 gallons of capacity; 4.1 gallons per side.
