<DIV>Jimmy, pretty much all of those pop blow molded bottles are made of PET. A
fine, very tough and resilient engineered plastic with terrific memory
built in (beats heck out of my memory, fer shure). What you experienced is
completely expected.</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>
