I am build a Voodoo and was wondering what tank works best. I really don't want to run a bladder
I was think of using a Brodak 481 or 487. What would you recomend?


Thanks for your time

I made my own when I scratch built a new VooDoo last year. If you buy a stock tank, you'll probably have to modify the venting anyway. Even 40 years ago, nobody I knew of made a pressure tank that would drop right into a VooDoo with the feed/pressure vents on top where you really wanted them to be.

A tubing penetration of the lower outboard sheeting, even a well sealed one, doesn't hold up long and starts to allow oil soak in. Never mattered much 40 years ago cuz most combat planes never lasted long enough for it to matter, but I plan on keeping my new VooDoo around for a while.

wouldn't have a sketch of your tank by anychance?

If you have muffler pressure avaliable, don't care about a four/two/four run and willing to go non traditional then you can find no better fuel system than a bubbless tank and there is no experimenting, guesswork works perfectly eveytime.

Avalible from Darrol Cady in 3, 4 and 5.25 ounces Here:

The tank I made looks the same general shape as the Brodaks mentioned. Feed tube exits top sheeting, and a pressure tap vent exits near the forward inboard top corner angled to the front at about 45 degrees. I tip the outboard wing down to fill and let it overflow out the pressure vent.

If I had to do it again, I'd add 2 more vent lines for fill/overflow (capped after filling) so I wasn't always removing the feed and tap lines to refuel.

Jason , I would love to see some photo's of your VooDoo. Can you post some? I have the plans for it will trying to build one someday.
