Man, that is painful to read.

The new tanks now a days are very flexible. They won't stand up by
themselves whereas the old one do, they were very stiff. It is not
necessary to make sure the new tanks are warm before rolling them up.
There are no sharp edges to worry about, at least in the Bonanza and I
don't recall any in the 182. It took about 5 minutes to attach the
snaps. All wiring and fuel transmitter is accessed thru the top of the
wing. The Cessna is a bad deal in this respect. The key is to replace
the fuel transmitter screws with bolt head screws.
