No, because I got mine from steve400.
Someone else fed me that link, but I didn't know about their shipping charges -nor- unavailability till now.

PM steve400 and see if he has any left over.

Rather odd too, they're a big supplier to automotive, marine, medical industries, and others.

They still list them on their home site.

Might just be a supplier glitch.

Now to add to the confusion....I just got another notice (3/14/12) from "Amazon" that they now have been shipped.....order was placed 2/13/12.....I think you're probably right; supplier glitch.....

I've been reading through this thread and looking at a few types of caps to use. I like the PSP but not sure which on to use for my application as it appears they have 3 or 4 choices. I'm flying a 37% Pilot Edge w/ a 3W-100. My current set up is a dubro tank with 2 lines. A vent and a supply/refuel line. If you could tell me everything I need to order to make a Fiji water bottle work that would be great.

Dude I would love to help you but if I show any more people how to make a fuel tank for $2.00 PSP will send somebody to burn my house down.

Thread title is "Sick of fuel tanks---How to use a soda bottle?", not a PSP thread.

I'd like to know

A Fiji water bottle, stopper clamp from an ARF, and Dubro gas stopper. Put the stopper on the inside of the bottle cap, drill holes for lines and center clamp screw.

There's a video somewhere back in these pages.

The mega link from A1pcfixr is a great resource for a DIY tank of varying levels of bling. If you can't pour piss out of a boot with directions on the heel, and you like the bling, get a PSP cap. They look and work great. So simple a Cave Man can do it......

I used to build them this way...as I have mentioned in this thread a few times before. The main reason I now prefer the psp has nothing to do with "bling"...but the stoppers seem to wear out too fast for my liking. Last year I was replacing stoppers every couple of months. Maybe our gas here is bad or something but I would much rather use the aluminum cap and be done with it.

If I already have all the fittings, line, etc that came with my Pilot-RC Edge would I only need the alumn cap?

What fails on the stopper? I have never used them on gas but did for 30 years on glow with never one failing.

They crack/crumble/fall apart...dubro and sullivan both. I prefer not having to keep an eye on them.

+1

it's a very small price to pay for the psp fittings, which are first class. would not use anything else.
