Default Overflow Bottle?

I dont know if you buy them but I made one out of a small fuel tank.


I was just wondering if you can buy them or must you make them?

Are you talking about a bottle to catch the over flow when filling your tank???

If so then just about anything will work. I just run a line from my pressure line back into my fuel jug.
A second fuel tank would also work, but it's easier, I think, to just run it back into the jug.

I made one out of a 35mm film canister. Don't use it much anymore though.

With a manual pump, and knowing about how much fuel the tank holds, I seldom loose more than a teaspoon when filling. (Glow fuel's tough on grass though. )

One of the beginners at my field uses a plastic cup to catch the overflow, then he just pours it back in to the fuel jug later. Pretty much anything will work.
