RubiconGuy11 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Hey guys, I'm looking for a fuel tank like the size/type that was on the front of the Pull Dozer model truck. Doesn't have to be exact as long as it is round and about the same size. It's for the front of a pulling truck. Thanks,
ferrarijoe Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Did you check bnl resins they have pulling truck parts.
Casey Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 There are a few companies which make/made aluminum Moon style tanks, including Detail Master, like this set of two currently on eBay:
RubiconGuy11 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 I have seen those on there, do you think they would be a suitable size? Also, what are the mounts made of? Thanks for the reply.
Casey Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I have seen those on there, do you think they would be a suitable size? Also, what are the mounts made of? Thanks for the reply. I think the Moon tanks came in three or four sizes, but I think those on eBay are 3 gallon tanks, so they might be too small compare to the Pulldozer's tank: The brackets are made of thin metal, in this case aluminum.
RubiconGuy11 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the info Casey, still undecided at this point. I think an air tank from a semi would work as well. I have a tank from the Blazing Bison but that's for another truck I have planned. I need to get one so I can finish this thing, lol! Edited February 27, 2015 by RubiconGuy11
RubiconGuy11 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Also, what do you guys use for resin glue? the regular Testors does not work that great Edited February 26, 2015 by RubiconGuy11
Casey Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Also, what do you guys use for resin glue? Use a CA type superglue.
southpier Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 this is from the Moon Fuel systems & Accessories catalog reprint included in the Rodders Journal set. if there's any interest, i'll scan more pages.
RubiconGuy11 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Cool find Southpier, I'll take one of each, lol!
Force Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) The Pulldozer tank does not look like a Moon tank, I've been to Moon Equipment several times and seen what they do, the tank in the kit looks more like a beer keg. Edited March 1, 2015 by Force
RubiconGuy11 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Yes you are right, I prefer the moon style over the keg.
