    Sounds like Alternate Cycle here in Kamloops is working with Clarke to build up a 20L tank:clap

    So where did you get the information regarding the Clark tank? 2nd hand, 3rd hand? :dunno

    I'm sure Ken doesn't want an e-mail or phone call from every SE owner in North America. Maybe you could find out more info from your source, since you felt the need to go public with this information :ear

    I just shared some e-mails with Kenny at Alternate Cycle. He does not have any production dates yet, but does estimate the tank to be around 20 ltrs, which is fine by me. Clarke, while having a rep for producing awesome tanks at a very reasonable price, works at their own leisurely pace.

    I'll send an e-mail to Clarke and see how far down their totem pole this project is...

    Cool. I know it's a niche market, and there aren't that many SEs out there, but I could imagine the frustration if he got 20 calls in 3 or 4 days seeking information for a product that is still in very early development.

    Now I don't wish to be contrary here, but if I was "Ken" and considering whether to go into production of a new petrol tank/widget/orange condom - this is EXACTLY what I WOULD want.

    I wish a forum existed that might send thousands of potential customers to me with email addresses begging for some of the products I make.

    p.s. As it happens I am just wondering whether to go into the manufacture of a medium sized narrowband UVB 311nm lamp for Psoriasis. If anyone can find me 5,000 gagging customers please just PM.
