A seaplane float frame apparatus with extra fuel storage, and a method of installing, comprising: 1) a middle section housing at least one auxiliary fuel storage tank; and 2) two opposing side panels affixed to the middle section, extending outward from about 45-60-degrees from the parallel, each of the two opposing side panels comprising a bottom flat edge fit-able to a float (e.g., carbon composite). The middle section further comprises a fuel pump and a fuel line attached to the auxiliary fuel storage tank(s) and to a main fuel tank within an airplane fuselage-engine. Electrical components enable the pilot, or automatedly as needed, to pump fuel from the frame's tanks. The two opposing side panels comprise triangular shaped cutouts to reduce the float frame's weight and drag, and a built-in steps, a bar, and non-skid coating on the floats to assist in climbing safely into/out of the cockpit.
