SODA BOTTLE FUEL TANK<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>

<DIV> I just flew the coke bottle tank today and I get 15 minutes on 24
oz of fuel.It actually draws fuel down to 1 oz in the tank,doing the Masters
pattern.</DIV>
<DIV>The upside is I don't have to fill it full to complete the pattern. The
weight savings is 2.5 oz using this tank.</DIV>
<DIV> To review...... this was a 33 oz, 1 liter coke bottle' that I
pickled with 30 % heli for 2 months.</DIV>

<DIV>Wow!!! 24 oz.... I can fly 15 min. on the 15.9
oz. bottle with my OS 1.40. I was wondering why these wide body planes
started getting so popular.... got to have'em so you can put a big enough
fuel tank in them.</DIV>

<DIV> I was getting ready to update my experiment with the 33 oz coke
bottle filled with fuel 30%. I let it sit and shrink for 2 months,then
when it appeared to stop shrinking I removed the fuel and carefully
measured the volume.The bottle started life as 33 oz,1 liter and now
holds 24 oz liquid. Which is perfect for a thirsty 160 DZ with a 4 blade
prop.I have it in my Smaragd and will fly (test) tomorrow. Should work
fine and no more shrinking.</DIV>

BOTTLE FUEL TANK</DIV>

<DIV>FYI... I had a conversation with a flying friend the
other day about the<BR>soda bottle fuel tanks and the way they
shrink. He happens to work for<BR>Pepsi and explained to me that
the bottles are blow molded. He said if they<BR>are not used with
in a certain period of time that the memory in the plastic<BR>takes over
and they will shrink in size and then they have to discard the<BR>old
bottles. The carbonized soda keeps the shape of the bottle till
used.<BR>He said that most likely the nitro content speeds up the
process and could<BR>explain why some of you using them with higher then
15% nitro are<BR>experiencing this phenomenon.<BR>So.... drink another
one.... rinse and fill.<BR><BR>Wayne Galligan<BR></DIV>
