Smoke tank location

[AlexHeatwole]

Considering a smoke system and and found an older thread where guys had put a smoke tank in the forward battery compartment between the rudder pedals, It was an older thread and non of the pictures are hosted anymore.

Does anyone have any pictures of a smoke tank in this area?

I haven't seen that, but would think it would be a bit small ? I have a 3.5 gal system in my -4, back in the baggage compt. Still plenty of cargo space, though the AFT CG with full tank keeps passenger and fuel load in check.

Mines in the aft baggage. It takes less than a minute to remove. I haven’t seen one mounted in the forward spot your referencing.

Do you have picture of how you mounted it? I'm going to be helping a buddy install one in his 4 coming up fairly soon and looking for ideas.

I like the pump attached to the tank. Looks nice and clean. Especially removing it. All self contained.
