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 style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=wgalligan@goodsonacura.com href="mailto:wgalligan@goodsonacura.com">Wayne Galligan</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA Mailing List</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Wednesday, February 15, 2006 6:21 PM</DIV> <DIV
