Hi Bernie back on Thursday I asked about the weight, did you find out the gram weight of the .020 fuel tank yet?
Also per your stats it has holds 60% more fuel volume, how many cc?

Not rushing, but are you going to be taking pre-paid orders for those aluminum .010 carb bodies Bernie? Thanks!

That looks a bit suspicious though...?

The description looks like a copy from Valentine, including the links to his proper ebay account... Huh...

In the meantime we have decided to stock the carb bodies, so no need to preorder / prepay.

Just got an answer on the .010 tank; 6.7 gr. without the mounting screws. No answer yet on weight for .020 tank and, yes the backplate is bigger (should be getting dimensions shortly).

Don't know about the volumes; he just said 60% bigger. Best is to wait until we actually have the product; that way we can better address any questions.

Big question is colour. Get everything in silver? Or 1/2 silver, 1/2 anodized?

Kim Mon Apr 30, 2018 2:32 pm

No matter to me.

Okey, that's good to know, so just a simple case of schizophrenia then Laughing

Cox International Thu May 03, 2018 3:42 pm

Tank weights without the screws are:

010: 6.7gr
020: 10.5gr

Here are also the mounting dimensions. Tanks are now going to anodizing and will the be shipped to us.

Bernie, taking your dimensions and estimating a 2.5 mm wall thickness for the .020 Tee Dee tank, I come up with an estimate of 5 cc's, not bad.

Thanks and that's for the .020 presumably?

You're welcome, Bernie and yes. What that tells me is the original capacity of the .020 Tee Dee tank is 3 cc's. Assuming a 2 mm tank wall thickness, my .010 Tee Dee estimate for the newly machined tank is 2.8 cc's. If same 60% oversized estimate, then the .010 Tee Dee tank must be around 1.8 cc's.

For a better answer, would it be possible to get that info from the maker?

Cox International Fri May 04, 2018 11:39 am

Thanks George and we already asked yesterday but have not received an answer so far.

Cox International Mon Jun 11, 2018 6:06 pm

They are on their way from Vancouver to us and should arrive in a day or two bounce

Once listed, we will advise. Because of substantial pre-orders, we have doubled our own order and there should be enough to go around.

Cox International Wed Jun 13, 2018 4:18 pm

The parts arrived today and they are waaayyyyy better than anticipated. Absolutely stunning and well-made. 7gr for the 010 version and 10gr for the 020 version.

Will try to get them listed today.
