Just to be contrary, the Piper Cub (the Aeronca Chief and Champ had fuel tanks in the same location) had its' tank in front of the pilot and behind the engine. A simple float and rod that rose up in a site tube in front of the pilot showed the fuel level.
When I was a young fellow growing up in eastern Montana Piper Cubs were as common as rifles (I may be exaggerating a tad
). So if you have not flown a Piper Cub yet how can you can yourself a pilot? :poke:
