Decided to get the fuel tanks assembled tonight, I like them to sit pressurised for a few days before installing. I de pressure and re-pressure each day so the tank is ‘exercised’ like filling, this will show up any weakness before filling with fuel 🙂
I must say these are the cleanest tanks I have ever had. I used 1 ltr of alcohol per tank with a really good soak and shake, I struggled to see anything in the clear bottle it drained into. Each tank is just over 3ltrs each which allows for some to sit in each tank and still give near 3ltrs useable from each.
CARF supply barbs, but I used the Dubro machined version. The parallel set up allows 5/32 tube to be used. I’ll use a large bore overflow set up. Tightening the bung a T handle Allen Key is a must to get it really tight.
