StoneFlyer,

Do the Hawaii water bottles seal well with the new threaded metal PSP caps? They look similar to Fiji's rectangular shape. A nice alternative for those of us wanting the 20oz size.

I found some in my area with your link, thanks, but would have a little bit of a drive to pick some up.
They should fit just fine. Seeing as the bottles come with a drink top on them I ended up using a Fiji cap for my tank. Driving a little ways is probably better then buying them online. I had to get a 4 pack and the water doesn't taste that good either!

I have always drained my tanks,and with the Viton i don't think you have to worry about stiffness.Filtering the fuel works good using some little cheap check valves( like on vacuum line on a car) 2 filters and a couple tees,filters pulling out and filling... Seems like a little trouble ,but dead sticks are alot more trouble in the wrong time/place.....

I drain my tanks because the plane needs to be in the house do to the extremely high garage temperatures with our texas triple digit temp and the Viton is doing the trick for me too.

Stoneflyer, you may want to try a Fiji cap on the Hawii bottle; not all threads are alike.

I'm having problems finding the 330ml Fiji bottle. I've checked Kum & Go (previously 7-11), wal-greens, and wal-mart. I can find the bigger bottles, but I was looking for the smaller for a 30cc plane. The 330 would be perfect.

Not all wal marts carry them, but I found mine at a wal mart, and bought up a couple 6 packs.

Are you needing just one? I can send it to you if you PM me a address.
