Default flat fuel tank

I needed a 16 oz. tank that was 1.25 inches high and 3 inches wide. I could not find a tank that would work from any of the manufacturers. What I ended up doing was going to Wal-mart with the fuel stopper, and looked at shampoo bottles. I ended up finding a suntan lotion bottle that was perfect. It was the correct size, the stopper fit and it has worked flawlessly for about 50 flights so far & still going strong. I got a few strange looks removing the top from bottles, and sticking the stopper in, but at least I did not get thrown out.
