Current Design
The current design includes a steel fuel tank, made with 1/4" x 4" x 8" tubing, yielding interior dimensions of 3.5" x 7.5", with 1/2" radius curved corners. The calculation below shows it holds 1.6 Gallons:
- (3.5" x 7.5" - (pi x( 0.5)^2)) x 14.5 / 231 = 1.59 Gal
Off The Shelf fuel tank
SurplusCenter.com sells a 5.5 gallon "off the shelf" fuel tank for $40:
- Item# 28-1756
Based on the given dimensions, I jammed together a Sketchup model and fit it into the Power Cube:
It could work, though we'd have to work out redirection of exhaust and mounting.
Update: This fuel tank is no longer for sale.
