The NEW Fourtitude V2 gas tanks are here!!!
Some important notes from Jason at Fourtitude*:
Redwing bought the complete first run of these tanks so head over to www.redwingrc.com today!!!!
We really believe in this product and in Jason at Fourtitude!
Make sure to upgrade asap as this new and improved design is the cutting edge of next generation RC gas tanks. You are probable familiar with the old design- with the the line-in and the vent nozzle on the top and the line running to the engine on the cap. Because there are so many different fitting and sealants, there are alot of places where something can go wrong or start leaking.
The V2 design eliminates ALL of these problems with ONE SIMPLE DESIGN..... ALL nozzles are in the removable cap which has TWO rubber gaskets and is ONE SOLD PIECE, which includes the vent tube and filling tube. Less parts = less problems.
Fourtitude has hit the target with the V2 Tank and as always, is the best quality you can get!
Fourtitude (or 4titude) gas tanks are high quality, crystal clear plastic tanks, that take the guesswork and worry out of your tanks. You can clearly see into the 4titude tank to know if your line is still flexible and your clunk is in place! Fourtitude tanks are FULLY ready to use and INCLUDE the foam, the Velcro and the tubing to hook to your engine!
4titude tanks are SUPER light, in fact, the lightest commercially available tanks on the market. They use aerospace grade adhesives to ensure long life. 4titude tanks are also made of seamless plastic, making them fully resistant to splitting!
The included clunk is filtered as well.
V2 Features:
Note the length dimension is from the back of the tank to the front of the fitting/tubing barbs.
Specs:
Fourtitude tanks are compatible with ALL oils, synthetic and non-synthetic. Fourtitude uses PPG Class B sealant. The expert below explains how high tech and quality of a sealant it is:
“PPG Class B is an aircraft integral fuel tank sealant. It has a service temperature range from - 65°F (-54°C) to 250°F (121°C), with intermittent excursions up to 275°F (135°C). This material is designed for fillet sealing of fuel tanks and other air- craft fuselage sealing applications. The cured sealant maintains excellent elastomeric properties after pro- longed exposure to both jet fuel and aviation gas. "
· 12oz - $21.99
· 16oz - $21.99
· 32oz - $24.99
*Some other things to note, This design came out just as Chinese manufactures completed a copy of the old design. This new design is worlds different so be sure to feature the following notes in your post.
This is straight from Jason at Fourtitude!:
I’m sure you have noticed these things but never hurts to share info I’ve noticed.
1: None of the Copy Cat tanks list the weights. (This means they are heavy)
2:They are not actually RTU. You still have to tighten the fittings in the direction needed and screw the cap down. (O-rings have a specific compression percentage needed for proper seal. Why and how is a customer supose to torque them to the proper tension? Every type of o-ring material specifies a different optimum compression percentage. Leaving this for a customer to guess doesn’t sound like a RTU product to me.
3: They have metal clunks vs a Filtered unit specified by Walbro to use with there carbs.
4: Fill/drain is in the front of the tank. User has to hold up the tail of the airplane to drain the tank.
5: Fittings on top of tank doesn’t allow proper clearance in many aircraft and completely isolates warbirds.
6: Most important why would you take a perfect blow molded container, drill two holes in it and then try to keep liquid in it?! This creates three potential leak points.

V2 Features:
- Injection Molded Single piece glass filled nylon fitting manifold. Light weight extremely strong material that creates a very easy to plumb and compact fuel tank.
- Dual static O-ring seals, designed utilizing the latest aerospace engineering technology, to seal fluid even under high pressure. V2 has one potential leak point and with the redundant static seals we have double assurance it will never leak.
- Plumbed with a filtered clunk and an extended fill/ drain tube to make it easy to drain the tank completely.
- Zero protrusions/ fittings on the outside of the tank to interfere with tight airframe installations.
- V2 Is a truly RTU product. We took care of making sure there is zero guess work involving installation. 3D diagram included with each tank showing how to properly plumb your fuel system for the best results.
Note the length dimension is from the back of the tank to the front of the fitting/tubing barbs.
