they really are, I run them in phantom 16's as well as ribs, good bow ballast also - if you go out on head sea head windy day and don't have a water bow tank, these can sit up front strapped down easily

Thanks for your recommendation and comments!

When I opened the thread I had a vision about a battery of several Barrus'.

Thinking about the fuel bladders now this seems to be the better solution for me.
I can tie them in parallel to the tubes and vary the position towards bow or stern depending on needs. I am hoping that they are easy to carry to a petrol station when there is no fuel available at the pier.

I think I would like to work with 2 of them.

How do you fill them? How do they react to temperatures when normal jerry cans would "shrink" or "expand"?
