Need tank for OS 91
Help !!!
Need a 16 oz. tank to put in a 2 1/2" square PVC fuelsalage. Trying to find a tank for my OS 91 FX , but all seem to be too big to fit.
What would be a good tank of maximum size to put in this fuelsalage ?
Thanks all

Hack
I would be a little apprehensive about using 2- 8 oz. tanks. I'm limited on the space lengthwise in the fuelsalage as well as width and height.
I probably could get by with a 14 or 12 oz. on the OS 91 Fx. it uses the fuel quite quickly though and did want to have a good supply.
I guess the question I'm asking is "who makes the tank with the smallest dimensions and yet hold the most fuel ?"
I know I'm asking for the best of both worlds here, but it seems that there is a tank manufacture, possibly Hayes that there tank is somewhat flexible, able to use in this small space.
I'll look into the manufactures specs. and start there.
Thanks.

Put one 8 ouncer inside and one behind the head, on top. Works great. Actually i got along just fine with a 12 ounce with my .90. I usualy didn't have the throttle side open al the time and usually got about 12 min flying time.

Thanks: Chris, Daryl and hack for the replys. I will go with the Hayes 12 oz. tank. ordered 2 today and will get them shortly.
Thanks again for the quick replys. When I get my "Home Brew" plane completed, I'll post some photos and hopefully a good flight report.
Have taken ideas from several planes and incorporated them into what I think I'll like to fly. Was fun building it anyway!!!

Just out of curiosity... (I know all about the cat!)
How would you put two tanks on one engine??
wouldn't you loose fule flow as soon as one tank went dry?
do you put the vent from one into the feed of the other?
use a 'T' and feed em both straight to the engine??
Lots of Ideas in my head now... but what really works?
