<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Concerning this bottle tank deal. Need
more info....Those who are doing it.....If you have seen shrinkage or not
-are you using a soda bottle or a water bottle?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There are different plastics and formulas.
Water of course having little to no taste is much more susceptible to flavor
damage than soda therefore may have a non plasticized plastic.</font>

So you are trying to say the plasticizer is kinda like putting alum on
your lips. It is shrinking(puckering ) the tank but causing no harm. If
you didnt read my post,my 2 tanks are now 1/2 inch shorter and smaller
in diameter than a bottle of coke.I expect the bottles are less than 16
oz instead of 20 oz now.<br>
Guess we are still learning.<br>
Good to talk to you at the Nats.<br>
