Where are YOU buying your Fortitude tanks these days and for what price delivered?

Cryhavoc38 · 05:30 PM

I've bought a few from Aeroworks since they are the less costly by far when factoring in shipping fee (no fee).

The 32oz tanks I've been buying were $24.99 delivered!

I've noticed one place charging $8.95 for shipping for a Fortitude tank.
Another is $7.99 for usps priority
seems pretty expensive comparatively speaking.

How is everyones tanks holding up? I have been through 4 tanks and every one of them the line inside got shorter in less than a month and stiff and have had two tanks leak around the cap. Have not had any issues flying the plane nor have I lost a plane with them, but after doing a routine inspection I had to throw them out and replace them.

PSP aluminum caps and a Fiji bottle and that will never happen. Guys complain that the caps are expensive, but they never leak and they will last forever.

I still have two of them left, I just make sure to wrap the cap and bottle neck with a few wraps of that silicone tape that fuses to itself.

Yikes! Never split a water bottle, but have split a Dubro. This makes me concerned.

Did your cap just fall off? Mine is still on, but leaking at the top of the cap. I am running redline oil and you can tell where it has leak from the top then dripped onto the floor of the plane.
