Hi Folks,

I was wondering if the Fuel Tanks mounted on the rear deck of The T-80UD are tied/plumbed into the tanks fuel system or are just used as extra fuel drums whose contents have to be pumped in to the main fuel tanks.

Hi Eric;
The rear fuel drums have Hoses that are attached too them and run down too the rear of the tank on the right rear, its the same set-up as on the T-72. If you Look at All of the builds you will find pics, of this system. Also you mite like JDs Builds of the T-72 & T-80 if you havent already.

CHEER; MIKE.

Are you talking about the tanks that go out behind the rear plate? Those are plumbed in.

The T-80B had a cradle in the middle of the deck grates for a 3rd fuel drum. This would NOT have been plumbed in...and so far as I know was never used for that purpose.

Thanks Guys,

the set up I was talking about have the drums mounted on the rear deck not suspended over the rear plate. More like the attached links.

I am bulding the Dragon T-80U (T-80UD) warts and all but adding a metal aftermarket barrel.
