Some answers:

Fuel is carried in four wing bags (factory installed) with 3.4 gallons each (12.9 liters), one fuselage tank (factory installed) with another 3.5 gallons (13.3 liters), another 5.7 gallon tank (27.6 liters) behind and below the wing spars in the engine bay. This tank also serves as a platform for the four fuel pumps (redundant systems for fuel transfer from the factory tanks and to the engine). There is also a small (1 liter) accumulator tank that we use to keep the system pressurized as fuel is fed to the engine. It also prevents air from reaching the engine. Total fuel capacity is presently about 23 gallons (86.3 liters)

Fuel consumption is high at 98% thrust (~30 gph) but drops off to about 18-20 gph at cruise power settings. We hesitate to give actual range estimates without real data, but 10 mpg at 150 knots is a fair approximation of cruise performance. You also have the benefit of a long glide from altitude when fuel gets low and the engine is shut down and retracted.

There are engine controls in both panels, except the start switch is only up front. The panel displays are proprietary to Desert Aerospace and built by LX Nav.

ANYTHING could (and should) replace the 2-33 ;-) No this probably isn't a good club glider, unless your club has a bunch of rich members.
