Fuel Tank

My Dumas hawk calls for 8 oz. but 10 oz. might be better for a mod engine.

My 2 Orlic NR's use about 6.5 - 7.5 oz per run. I have a tank with 8.4 oz capacity and have some left over after each run. Using a 10 oz tank just puts more weight in the hull.

8 oz will be fine. Remember, you will be covering a lot more water.

I agree. If it gets close to being empty, you can delay getting started for about 15-30 seconds or run slower during mill time. Always allow for a little extra in case you jump the start and then have the extra lap to go. I try to allow for about 1 oz left over. A comfortable cushion without all of the extra weight.
