In the early days of my Big Boomer, I would get a failsafe when I turned on my smoke system. So I isolated everything with a second receiver and moved the pump with its own battery and speed controller (homebuilt system) behind the main fuel tank and over the CG. I have a 24 oz. tank mounted sideways in the inlet space next to the main tank. I still get decent airflow around the tank and the other inlet is wide open. Here is a photo of my set-up. Hope that helps.

Jet Tech makes a combination fuel/smoke tank for the Elan...not sure if they do for the XL, but it is a heck of an idea!!!

Bob,

I used a 32oz Dubro just aft of the radio tray. Fits perfectly. I think there are pre-crash pictures posted on here under my user name.

After looking at your pics. I remembered I had a 48 oz tank that I used for smoke in my KingCat (RIP)

It fits perfect between the radio tray and the fuel cell former. No modifications. The smoke system should be here tomorrow.
