Another option. Not as easy to use.

Ok, yes expensive. But, you are into quality stuff here. My old tanker has been around 5-6 years, abused, dropped, forced and generaly abused. Just like the engines, it just keeps on ticking. Think of it as like it is, buying a fuel tank for your Mercedes, Farrari etc. ENJOY

I have been putting bladder tanks in ALL of my planes now, not just my racers. Having the nice Jett Tanker is well worth the money, I think I'm on tanker #3.

Status: offline 		I do agree that its better to pay more for good stuff, so many times I went the ceap way and ended up paying lot more, but still hard to justify almost 50$ for a fuel pump.
I guess I have to get it.

Status: offline 		The funny thing about those darn things is that people don,t think much about them once they have one. At one of our races in Houston a lot of those tankers were left lying around on the ground and all have gone home. We did the best we could to get all of them back to their owners ,but I,m sure on or two where left over so some lucky newby got a free be. And no it was not me.I have two that I payd for. One is a realy cool blue that I had done myself. Dubb sells a blue one but is no where as cool a blue as mine.He says that I,m the reason he now sells them in other than Red now.
