    Adding third tank

    Own a 21 cougar that has two saddle tanks now, problem is I'm always out of gas, I wish to install a third tank in rear between stringers, how do you get them to all drain simultaneously? Seems keeping fuel lines same length could be it?

    I would have the two side tanks flow into the new tank. Draw your fuel from the new one.

    My CeeBee Avanger has 2 x 20 gal saddle tanks with equal length lines "Y'd" together, and they draw pretty evenly. But with a middle tank at a different height you may have to have the 2 saddle tanks drain into the middle tank, and then to the engine. If they all draw at the same height, it may be OK.
