Other Power Factor Pipe Users - Requesting measurements for custom gas tank

I am in BFE.

How bad was the roto molding quote?

 

[Tyrant1919]

20k just for setup. Bare minimum. Not including other crap. Tanks roughly $100 per after all the setup is done.

 

[WILKEY]

Damn someones trying to retire early....

 

[NVJAY775]

Wow dude... I don't know much, but that sounds kinda crazy to me.

Chris needs to cough up some 411 about what is going on at Thrust concerning the whole tank thing.

PLEASE

 

[Tyrant1919]

Early April fools buildup perhaps?

See drawings below. I'm just waiting to find someone to make one. Prolly go with aluminum. Will hold a antigravity battery on top of tank. Haven't decided 100% if I want to add an OEM spec spout to it for my fancy aluminum pickups.

A tank like this one should not be difficult to make at all. Only thing it needs is a fuel gauge.

I was kind of thinking about the fuel gauge idea. I know with the snowmobile it's is just a float, that would be sweet.

QuickMick makes some very nice fuel cells that have an external visual fuel gauge, very nice setup!

Y'all make it happen and I'm down for one.

Ha it's funny you mention a tank level sensor. If I find an aluminum gay to throw a quote at me, I have plans to include a fuel gauge as well. Basically two 90* fittings with a clear PVC tube between them orientated vertically at the aft of the tank. I have considered my own electronic fuel meter system to determine gas left so I can mount a simple LED system on my handle pole. I've contemplated a very easy way of doing this :^D too, safely I might add. Someone find me an Aluminum guy. I keep throwing cash at my monitor at all the custom aluminum fab websites but nothing seems to be happening.

[Tyrant1919]

Gay, Guy, different similarity.

 

[TheBuzzard]

sounds like you got a little sugar in that tank and its not even made yet!

 

[Tyrant1919]

Cool, I may have just found a local Bay Area aluminum guy. He's looking at the files now. Maybe he can throw me a quote by tomorrow.

that would b sweet

 

[Tyrant1919]

Machine shop quoted $1200 ish for 1 tank to prototype. I'm redesigning tank to take out as much of the welds and curves as possible. Would like to get down to $600 personally.

We already have a 4 gallon tank here at Thrust. It's too tall for some skis "superfreak".
We will have a 5 gallon tank in 3-4 weeks.

This what Thrust got
