Alan,
Go NOW and buy a bunch of Lottery tickets! Actually for whatever reasons these tanks seem to be difficult to blow up. If you watch the Myth Busters on television you may have seen the episode where they tried to blow up the tanks. And you KNOW how they like to blow things up! Anyway they shot it. They dropped it. They even built a huge fire and dropped them into the fire. If I remember correctly they never did get a tank to blow. That is until the strapped some good ole C-40 or whatever they use. Then the tank blew.

My CRS prevents me from be able to give you an iron clad guarantee that this is what happened. But the gist of this rambling post is that it is apparently very difficult to get the tank to blow up.

I am glad you are still with us in our MOC world. Keep going.... Let's see what was I doing just before things got interesting? Oh, yeah I was installing an electrical box for the genny.

Good luck and let us know when you get it finished. Maybe even some pictures.
Dennis
