coke bottle syndrome

[Wayne Galligan]

With my method of using the stopper and cap all you have to do is replace the bottle.  Mine has not changed in size or at least that I can notice and I have burned about 3 gallons of fuel in this tank since installing it.  I used a 16.9 oz Diet Sprite bottle if it really makes any difference.  Could be that lethal 4-stroke fuel...most likely the nitro.   I am running 15% Cool Power

Pass me another Coke please...  with a little Old #7.

  What would happen next would be deemed a "leak".

  Thanks for the assessment of the problem. There had to be a chemical reasoning behind my problem with the coke bottle tank. one of my tanks is 1/2 inch shorter and is less diameter than a fresh bottle. It was used about 20 flights.I changed plugs right before the nats so the plug damage is unknown.The engine still runs normal.
