Hello all,
I do not know how many builders are using the monowheel long ranger
tank, but I am surprised not to receive any response on the forum
regarding my previous message below. May be I have got the only bad tank
and cap supplied by the factory! Again the problem is the cap which fits
badly to the tank opening. It is almost like screwing an AN6 nut to an
AN5 bolt. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Subject: Europa-List: long range tank not good
Hello all,
I have received my long range tank recently and am preparing it for
installation. The cap does not fit well and it leaks. I took some
measurements of the threads on both the cap and the tank. The outer
diameter of the male thread on the tank varies between 63,8 mm and 64,6
mm while the inner diameter of the thread on the cap varies between 63,3
and 63,9 mm. For the screwing to be effective the diameter of the cap
thread should be about 2 mm smaller than it is. Obviously this is very
bad and as a result the cap can be removed just by pulling it
vertically. There is no way I could use this tank safely as it is.
I have questioned the factory but up to now the response has not been
satisfactory. Has anyone experienced the same problem? Any suggestion?
