I used to have a Calif as well, and I managed to install a 10 liter cylinder between/behind the seats. With the EDS, that goes a long way ;-)

Really? Which Serial # did you own?
I got the original Caproni O2 brackets and installed the longest aluminum tank that fits through the main bulkhead between the seats. I can turn on and off the tank, see the gauge and the operate the EDS. Nothing beats a roomy cockpit! ;-)

I owned S/N 38, F-CEUD (which I changed into D-6600 upon acquisition). Flew it for about 600 hrs from 1998 to 2005 in the French Alps. Absolute fantastic glider, very fond memories ;-)
The tank I installed did just fit through the main bulkhead and reached all the way back to the rear bulkhead. I installed a kind of swing at the rear bulkhead on which the bottom of the tank rested (and fixed by the horizontal part underneath the central wing section). In the main bulkhead, the top of the tank was fixed by a trap obtained from Gomolzig such that the valve protruded into the cockpit. Removal and installation could be done with the wings mounted by guiding it via the access hole above/behind the main bulkhead. And no, I never showed this to a German inspector :-D But as I said, 10 liters at 200 bars do last quite some time...
