Hi Frank
So it looks like scratch the pressurised Jerry-can idea then!!

BTW - What constitutes a 'pressurised vessel'. Would that include the 'pressurised fuel tank on most if not all glow powered models? :whistle: :silly:

Hi Ron your on board fuel tank is open through the exhaust fitting so any over pressure would escape through that, also the areas and volume are very small a jerry can a bit larger, a coca cola can can stand well over 100psi (8bar) to the young ones but the shape becomes differant :silly:

Interestingly... some IC tanks are pressurised....

the YS and some OS engines pressurise the tank from the crankcase pressure and a one way valve.

this then supplies a constant pressure fuel to a special regulator on the carb.

looove YS engines.
