Rocker Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Can anyone tell me what size fuel tank Ripmax use in there Wots Wot XL kits .I am using the fuel tank that comes with the kit and was thinking of putting a 16oz tank in it but do not want to take it all apart to find out the standard fuel tank is a 16oz tank and I have just wasted my money and brought a tank that is already in it ?

Denis Watkins Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I see you got 8 minutes on your previous tank Which if your vent pipes are not set properly The tank will not fill up You need to fill you tank, then pump it out into a measuring jug, to test capacity It does appear that tank is not filling fully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Can you measure the hight, width, length in place in the airframe. Then you can calculate its volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Ah but Don If the breathers are down and not up Then the tank never fills fully up The overflow appears to show fuel full, but it is angled such that the top inch of the tank never fills That is why I suggest measuring the tank contents, s these only last 8 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Just removed the tank and discovered almost half a tank of fuel still left in the tank even though I have empty the tank on the fuel pump .Taken it all apart an re plump it all .Think the pick up fuel line had some how been to short ,think when I tighten the bung up must of pull the feed line or something shorten it Doh !!!!! Seems to work OK now but will have to wait until Sunday to try it out at our field .Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Brilliant Rocker, tank plumbing is a pain with all of us I suspect the biggest portion of I/C related scepticism and poor running is tank related. It is not just tank height, as its amazing just how far a motor will draw fuel from a well plumbed system. Well done seeking this out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
