If it is of interest to anyone here, I posted a how-to and some pics in the 1/2A forum, describing a simple way to make lightweight balloon tanks for small engines. The post also shows the component and finished weights on a digital scale.

The usual hold back is finding or making a suitable adapter for the neck of the balloon. I spotted a handy off-the-shelf candidate in the medicine cabinet and decided to fool with it, the result is a 2.8 gram tank that holds 20cc or so of fuel, and takes a few minutes to make.
