Thanks! You should rent out the plug you made for at least the bottom of the tank.
Did you carve it from foam?

Ah, Gascolator. That came from an oddball new/used
parts place near here. The top casting has 3/8 pipe
threaded holes so is equal to the rest of the system.
Here's a couple of pics. The line to the carb is as
uphill as I could get it.

Now you tell me! :-) The plug was a "lost foam" thing
Fiberglassed on the outside as a bottom first with a "skirt"
divider the curve of the wing top. When that cured I
cleaned up the skirt area, removing same from the
fiberglass. Then lots of mold release was applied and
the top glassed on. Separated the thing at that skirt
line, dug out and cleaned off the foam and relase agent.
Installed some fiberglass sheet inside to control surging
and put the thing together.
Pic is of the bottom before cleaning it up. Note the
colour of the vinyl-ester resin.
