Hi, Yesterday I tested smoke system of my Kangaroo and had nice result as shown in the attached pictures.
First, I used one center tank of BVM F-16 which was surplus in my stock and fuel pump which was used before. I had one remote switch to activate it from TX. Battery for pump was 600mh 4.8V only. I cut the half of center tank and put two plastic tubes with 500ml each and connnected with fuel lines to pump.
I am fully satisfied with this result and going to have airbone test soon.

Jai,
You could do away with the electric pump and batteries altogether by using case pressure from the engine. AMT use this method to great effect. Just take a pressure feed from the engine case via a valve (servo controlled) to the smoke tank. Opening the valve allows the engine pressure to drive the smoke liquid to the vapourising tubes at the back of the engine.
Vey simple and less weight to lug around. I think there's even a drawing of the system on www.amtjets.com.

Tony
