Thats a smart water bottle.... Fiji water bottles work great too they are square and more rigid

http://www.aircraftinternational.com...FuelSmoke.aspx sells better fittings

yes they are delicate, i create a cradle for them, and strap it in gently, then the cradle is screwed or strapped to the plane... depending on my setup

I like how you did that...I am doing something similar except inside the tank, yours is a little better and I will copy it. I am using Fiji bottles and make my own nylon fittings to fit as necessary

Suggestion, put a piece of velcro somewhere on the round tank to hold position. Your hold down straps (zip ties?) don't need to be tight since the velcro will not permit roatation
