Default Free custom aluminum and acrylic fuel tank

The first interested member who PMs me can have it. Shipping included. All I ask is that you post pictures showing what you'll put it in.

This is a nice aluminum and acrylic fuel tank that was custom made by me. It has a volume of roughly 16 ounces. The reservoir measures 2 3/8" x 6 1/2", the aluminum end caps are 3 1/8" x 2 13/16", and the overall length is 7 1/4". The fittings on either end are 1/8" NPT. There is a pickup mounted inside one of the ends which is assembled with 1/4" stainless tubing and fittings. It can be changed to whatever is required for your application. The threaded rods which hold the tank together are 4-40 on each end and clamp the end pieces to the acrylic with buna o-rings. This was to be used on my custom 1/6-scale monster truck but I decided to make it electric. No fuel or other liquid has been inside this tank. I can answer any questions about this since I made it [8D]

Very nice, unfortunately I have no use for it.

It can also be easily modified into a really cool looking reservoir for a PC cooling system...

Yes, for sure. Or a coolant tank for a liquid-cooled RC vehicle.
