I just turned a carb cleaner can into a gas tank. Don't do this at home lol.
Make really really sure all the propellant is out if you do. I just drilled the top out and forced the male end of a coke type bottle into the opening with some epoxy to make it secure. I am going to use a single line right down through the cap.
I might try to get a gas filter into it but I have about decided that since I use a small jar of premix, I might just put the filter in it and siphon it into the tank. If I filter it there, I shouldn't need to filter it from the gas tank as well. I would be able to use tanks with smaller opening, if I didn't have to fit a filter through there. I think the inline filters might not be such a good thing for the small gas lines. I have had all kinds of trouble every time I use one. I can't pin it down to that but it might be the problem.
So now I have one from a propane tank a quart of gas.... the carb cleaner holds about a pint and a half of gas. Also a two quart one from a plastic canteen. Pretty diverse I would say.
