Fellow's I am looking for some 4oz and 6oz clear clunk tanks, I don't want the "milk" bottle color, but clear in round type tanks.
Any suggestions such as brand and location?
Thanks

Sorry for putting on my naysayer hat, but I'm pretty sure that any such tank will not be entirely fuel proof. I think that at best you'd get severe yellowing, and there's a good chance that the thing would get brittle. I'm pretty sure that the "milk bottle plastic" look is inherent in HDPE, and that HDPE is what you need to hold fuel.
I'll be happy to be wrong -- you might want to find some clear plastic pill bottles and try them out, but don't announce joy to the world until one has held up for a few seasons.

The "Flex" versions of Sullivan plastic tanks are more transparent than the regular tanks. They come in the same shapes and sizes also I think. They are just "softer" and more flexable so they can snuggle into a tight compartment, I guess.
Type at you later,

I too have used he flexible Sullivan tanks and like the fact you can see how the tubes align.

You can get plumbing hardware for use with Fiji water bottles. These are sold primarily for gasoline use, but there is most likely glow versions. These do not use stoppers, but screw on caps which have proven to be more reliable for gasoline engines. I will search for the brand. Then you can use any size water bottle that works for you. If the Fiji bottles will hold up to gasoline, they will certainly be good for glow.
