It is just some tank from an old kit. What is the exact width and height of the opening. If I recall The tank for you plane is close to 3" wide and about 2.5" high but is is installed on edge.

The opening to move it up forward is 2.5"wide and the it's 3.25" high. The "bay" in front of the wing tube is 5.5" X 5.5" and approx. 4" high.
I can find one to fit if I lay it on it's side but, afraid it would leak fuel in that position. Was your's that way?

If it will work an Aeroworks 750cc fuel tank is 3" x 2 1/4". You can phone Jeff or Mark at Aeroworks in Colorado and they could get one to you allot quicker. It will come complete with gas stopper, cluck and brass tubes.
BTW 750cc is about 25 oz.

The AW tank will work perfect for you. It is around 6" long. It is supposed to go throught he former into the next bay in front a bit. Give AW a call and the tank will work just right. It doesn't matter if it is on it's side or not. They can be installed either way. Ph 303-371-4222 Here is a link. It is not exactly like the one in the picture. The one in the picture is a smaller rounded tank.

Persistance pays off. I completed the order and will have it next week.
Thanks for all of your help. I'd still be pulling my hair out without you.

No problem, enjoy your plane. A guy I know has one and it is one of his favorites.
