Yes, they are different. They are flat with 2 molded areas for zip ties, rubber-bands or straps. I don't know where you can get them from. I have this one from an Arf I bought last yr.

I got a OMP 46 Yak ARF last summer. It came with a rectanglure tank with the molded areas for ty-raps or rubber bands. I`ll look and see if it has a name on it.

RE: PROFILE FUEL TANKS
I have a couple of the tanks with the grooves in them and they are great for profiles but as far as I know they are supplied with the arfs by the manufacturer ( chinese) and are not available from any of the U.S. suppliers. A good tank for a profile is the Sullivan Slant Oval tank.
Here is a link to the 8oz tank but they have other sizes available.

I heard from one of the guys at the field that Modeltech had them on some of there planes. He is building a profile and one of the other guys at the field gave him a tank that has the grooves in it and said it came from a Modeltech plane.

RE: PROFILE FUEL TANKS
Any tank will work as long as you have room for it between wing and prop. I use Hayes or Sullivans on all my profiles. Held on by rubberbands you don't need slots in your tank to keep them from coming off or sliding.
