Hiya MJ,

I don't remember anything unusual for the fuel system of the ones I flew - but they were bog standard machines. No extra tanks or anything like that. Had to climb on to the roof to dip the tanks though - but that's not exactly odd for a high wing aeroplane - and worked out a way to do it without a ladder.

The image below should give anyone unfamiliar with a BN2 Islander an idea of the design's graceful, flowing lines:
