It makes sense about the tankers not wanting to give their positions away so I can see this. I also now think that the long cannister type mufflers lowered the engine noise as well - I don't think they were just there to disperse the exhaust but I want a bit at least.
I wonder, do you know if I could drill a hole through the top of the heater, glue a plastic tube (without having to put in a brass fitting) into it and then drilling another hole out of the back of the Tiger or any of the others, so I could just refill the heater anytime I wanted, withought having to take the upper hull off? Does that sound too insane?
Some years ago DKLM sold Tiger 1 brass fuel tank refiller screws,I tried this on an old Heng Long Tiger 1.I got the thread size from DKLM,
I drilled out the Left front plastic fuel filler cap then tapped a thread into the body and screwed the DKLM filler in place,
Mating a silicone pipe between the filler cap and the smoker is simplicity itself.
