I get alot of emails asking me diffrent things like where did I find those fuel tanks.

I do alot of expermenting with diffrent things. Such as fuel tanks I go to the hardware store or department store or where ever and look for bottles that will suit my needs. I put fuel in them and see if they hold. If so I use them.
The foam cradels I use are Harley-Davidson tank shipping foam.
The arrow shafts I am now using are from the archery store. Carbon Fiber over aluminum. Super light and super strong.

So what I am getting at is what ever your mind can come up with give it a try. "THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX"

If someone would like to start a thread on diffret things they use I'll give my input.

I have a vague idea of what "Thinking outside the box," might entail and truly I don't see where mere substitutes of one source for another qualifies.

We all like to share tips, I certainly do. But let's not overstate things to the point where various plastic bottles used in place of commercially available plastic fuel tanks or standard hard tanks is considered more than just another way of doing the same thing.

I agree but how many commercially available plastic tanks are hard piped with aluminum tubing?

I was one of the rookies who emailed asking for what you used for the fuel tank. Forgive me.
