Gas tank model

Gas Tank:

A small gas tank was needed for the ignition process. In order to increase the efficiency of the ignition process, a small amount of gasoline will be used to raise the temperature in the combustion chamber. As shown below, the gas tank is just a small 12 oz aluminum PMI CO2 tank. As with the t-stoff tanks, the only modifications needed were the adapter on the top of the tank and the bottom will be tapped and threaded for an aluminum tube leading to the fuel injector. Although this tank was easily available and cheap it has the standard 3000 PSI rating and is rather heavy for its size.
