metal tanks

[jason jury]

hi there fellow boaters over a peroid of time i have tried metal tanks in place of the standard plastic ones in my 21 mono,s with mixed results,, the plastic tanks were sullivan 12 ounce ones but found at times i almost run out of fuel before the end of the 5 lap race,, i had a metal tank made near me the same as a rigger tank and was about 13 ounces. when ever i tried using it in place of the plastic tank i found the boat hard to get up running quick.. i only today relized that the 2 tanks were very different i weight empty, i think this could my issue with running metal tanks in my 20 mono,s i have not seen a walt barney metal tank and if possible could someone post a pick of there,s so i can compare it to mine. all info and comments welcomed please,, thankyou jason,,

Jason,

My SS tanks weigh just a little less,or the same weight, than a Plastic 12 oz tank, and have header tanks inside.to keep the fuel line full at all time with no bubbles to the carb.
