as to the nylon tank, it probably is meant to be used in hollow fuselage airplanes (do they call it that?), and you
basically just stick it in there. it "snaps" right in.

Yes that's the cylindical nylon tank. I am undertain of the engine application or how it attaches however. Ideas?

The Kardan BW tank extender is self-explantory. I'd like to know if they are any good in actual useage: do they leak or cause other problems? Being in Germany, you may have has some experiences with them.

Yes I've considered 'coning the tank to seal it but, until I find a use for the tank, I'll defer the 'coning.

I believe there are more suitable tanks for my current applications.

Thanks for your response.

In regards to the Kavan tank extenders, they are good, but they do leak. I would suggest that you put a bead of silicone around the tank where it matches

I have sealed tanks with oil resistant black Permatex from the auto parts store. It will stay sealed until you find some reason to disassemble the piece. I use it between BW crankcases and the 8cc tanks which I have had leak on a couple of engines.
