Looking for tc 840 long rage tanks!!!

Hi i was looking for long range tanks for an 840. Any pointers would be great thanks!!!

It seems like it was $50-$75,000 many years ago. I could imagine it’s over $100,000 today if you could find the parts but don’t know because most end up not being willing to spend the money once they learn about how much work it takes.

Send me you name, number,  and aircraft serial number or registration number and I’ll see what I can do.

Bruce, does that 980 you were parting out have the tanks in it?

What is involved in adding the tanks other than getting the bladders, which I assume Twin Commander will sell you?

[Bruce Byerly]

I’d have to check but there’s a lot more to it. The low fuel pump system is more complicated than you think given its simple operation but the plumbing is different between the two as I recall. I think the long range kit on my Shrike was $40k and that one is way more simple.

So who’s the new member? Welcome. Introduction?

 Hi I operate a 840 serial #11606  in Mexico and was looking for any of the parts. Really want those extra  miles the long range tanks give.  Thought the process was just adding the extra bladders and recalibrating the indicator. Thanks for the help!
