Where to find small fuel tank or Air Tank

Post by GURU »

G'day all,

I'm after a Cheap and small (around 20L) fuel tank for a buggy. It needs to be tall and narrow, but I can't seem to find anything to suit. I once turned an 18L air tank into a fuel tank, but can't seem to find any at the right price.

A Mini (real one, not BMW crap) tank holds 29L and they stand in an upright position. Guess it depends on how "tall and narrow" you need it to be. They are odd shapped, narrower at bottom then top.

Was looking for something around 250mm diameter and as tall as required to fit 20L in

Try a boat chandlery.

A lot of different shapes and sizes.

Sounds like an old post-mix (corny) keg from the older style soft drink machines would possibly suit your needs. Hold around 18-20L and are around the right diameter. Thinking about it, you could even use compressed air pressure on the "gas" connection side to force fuel out the side with the spear on it.

Don't know if this is really what you had in mind but just a thought anyway.

I reckon a boat joint would be a good source. Unfortunately they can be pretty pricey.

What about something like this?
