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> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jim Ivey</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV>
