Hello Ravi,

I use a 2 litre cooking oil bottle I pinched from the wife and emptied into a sausepan.

I also use a 300CC Sullivan tank as an air trap so I suppose I have a useable capacity of 2150CC.
I set my alarm for 7.5 minutes from startup and usually land as the alarm is sounding.
After the flight I have about a fuel level of about 12mm (1/2") remaining in the main tank

I have emptied the tank once after another model crashed on the strip as I was waiting to land. After landing the engine quit as I was taxiing back. The timer read 11mins.
I hope this info is useful.

Cheers

Col
