half. Last time I looked a pound was 16oz (454Gm). SOOO that 33oz bottle
that is now 24ozs (full) would be more like a pound and a half, down from the
original 2.06pounds it started life as. Of Course if we’re gonna get that
serious we’d hafta talk about the specific gravity of the fuel – so I’m kinda
out on a limb with this <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

with a full tank (except those electron guys) Can you feel the difference in a
2m plane changing weight well over a pound, even if it’s located on the CofG.
At my level of experience, especially since I’ve not touched the sticks since
Hurricane Rita, I’m not gonna voice an opinion. You guys tell
me.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

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....

<DIV>Correct specific gravity of fuel varies with the gravity of it's contents,
more nitro more weight the average is about .65 to .75 which makes 24 oz be
around one pound.</DIV>
