Default functional drop tanks?

So how are "we wild and crazy jet guys" doing functional drop tanks????
(ethier for just getting more fuel capacity or actually dropping them )

Share your ideas ..failures and successes.... how did you do it?

Are Bvm easy connectors kerosene proof????
(need at least three for fuel flow capacity)


My plan for functional (for additional fuel capacity) (but non droppable)

Two 16 oz sullivan cylinder tanks,
(which are 2.5 in diameter and 7.5 inches long)
facing each other in a tap plastics 3 inch diameter tube, (capped with rocket nose cones)
ringed with 1/4 inch ply for centering and support, and tabbed for gluing into the
tank strut.... bolted to the wing (internal strengthened supports)


How do you guys do it???
