I know that there have been many posts about the ARF Nobler on here. I have one and I am putting a Brodak 40 in it. Now I need to decide on a metal tank (size and brand)or the replacement plastic 6oz tank from Tower. OK guys and gals...whats the verdict on what has worked best for this plane?

#1 sourceI'm planning on using the 6 oz plastic clunk tank. One will have a B.40, the other a DS .40 or Magnum .36. Steve

#2 source6 OZ for a FOURTY!!!!!!! What you useing 35 % Nitro???. Brodak makes a NOBLER TANK. Any 4 oz tank will work......
6 oz of fuel on a .35 sized plane GIVE ME A BREAK.

#3 sourceYou don't have to fill it all the way up. And if you choose to run a larger engine later you are ready. Seriously though I run larger tanks for practice.

Kirk I put a Brodak uniflow #BH485 in mine 5.5 oz removeable from the front and it is past the firewall into the engine bay ,so its the largest tank that fits. My engine Is a OS 35 S and sits on the front of the motor mounts. Its easy to go smaller once the larger tank is set up. See Ya Neal.

#5 sourceHi Kirk,
From some unknow spot on the globe - in the Pacific Ocean too. I would say that a 4.5 ounces ATF tank could probably be made to work O.K. Give Ty Marcucci in Huntsville a call and say I said Hi, never mind he'll read this before you can call. He put a 4 ounce tank in his and could give you some helpful advice on how to make openings, vent access points, ect.! I still think that a 4.5 ounces tank would cover both your engines with some spare fuel left over in case you ever decide to put a .46 in it or someting to that effect.
Regards from the Pacific
