Not sure what you mean...

They put extra fuel tanks in the cabin to ferry it to Hawaii, from the mainland.

That is exactly what I wanted to know NNNG, how can they get a plane with a max range of 2,060nm to travel over 3,300nm

Also, if you get the change to fly in a 717, take it. The engine sound is great, among other things.

I thought they went under earlier in the year or am I confusing them with another Hawaiian airline?

You must be thinking of Aloha Airlines, which operated out of Hawaii, and ATA Airlines, which served Hawaii from the mainland.

Anyone know how they got those tanks in the fusalage or how they get them back out when they're finished using them?

They look pretty well welded up to me.

i think, though im unsure, that they load them in through the belly cargo hatch.

flooring is removed in an area, they are brought up into the main cabin and they are put in place.

the come back out the same way.

They looked rather wide to get through a cabin door. Going through the floor makes sense.

The tanks are moved through the front left cabin door, albeit barely, by only 2 inches...
