The 14 gal one that I got cost about $159.00, which I thought was really
good considering the quality. Then found a filler neck with secure
screw-in cap for another $20. It was meant to be a thro-deck fitting but
just cut off the big poly flange that was meant to seal at the deck. The
outlet connection is on top of the tank so can't leak fuel, an internal
pipe feeds from the bottom. There's also a fitting on the top for a
breather. Also built-in is a fuel level sender, so you only need to buy a
gauge to to have a fuel gauge on panel.
Lots better than the polyethylene jugs with rubber outlets that can be
ripped out by hand......

I bought a Moeller 12 gallon for my gyroplane... I was very impressed...
it's quite solid. I got mine from Bass Pro Shop, on-line.

I had a Gyrobee... a really sweet ride. Had it for a year or so, but had
to sell it due to personal financial issues. My plan, though, is to get
another one... a 2-seater. I loved it! :-)
