Hi levent, how did your bespoke fuel tank perform, any leaks ?
Iwhat was its final weight, and was it lighter than a tin tank ?
No leaks any in raw fuel. I didn't test it with a running engine yet.
Total weight is .547 ounces. It is a little lower than a tin plate fuel tank. Final metal epoxy add much weight. I think that two clear coats on inside and outside are enough.
I also want to try an epoxy model paint coat after applying a coat of epoxy glue to save weight, however I could't find epoxy paint in my country.
