I have a scratch build going right now and I have been looking into fuel tanks for it. The plane has a box fuselage and is real narrow in the nose. Are there any fuel tanks out there that are either short height and width wise but go back long, or, small in diameter and long in length? I saw the sulliven round tank and I think the specs say it is 2" in diameter. The diameter or width x height would have to be 1-7/8" or less and it could go back as far as need be. I guess i could always modify the fuselage to accept a 2" diameter tank but just thought Id see if there was another option. Again, Im looking for a 6oz tank.

Water bottle, try to go to the super market and find some soda or water bottle and search the topic about water bottle fuel tank.
It might help.

THank you

I was able to take a heat gun to a regular dubro 6 oz tank and compress the sides in enough to where I think it will fit now. I read you could do that on another forum. It doesnt look pretty now, its a little wrinkly but I think its still solid enough to work.

That's probably the best solution as I don't trust the fit of Sullivan hardware much. Dubro has tighter standards from what I've had. A lot of my Sullivan Flex tanks have leaked.

Hi!'
Get a Tettra "Bubbleless tank! Those are slim and gives better fuel delivery than any other tank!
