Good morning,

I have to build a +- 2.5 liter CF air tank that hold 10 bars continuously.
My plan is to shape a cylinder (7.5 cm diameter and 15cm long) in a block of foam that need to resist epoxy resin under vacuum, wrap it with 6 layers of CF, after cooking I will drill two holes where I will later install some plugs, filling through them acetone to dissolve the foam and get a final clean inside piece.

My questions are :

- is my plan the easiest or do you have a better idea ?
- which foam to use (I want to avoid glue in the process and 10cm height is your only option) ?
- how many layers of 400gr CF would you recommend (my intention is 6) ?

Thanks for your kind advice.

These "tanks" were made from a thin (0.6 mm) alu cylinder with a rocket nozzle at one end and a cone at the other .. Both were held in place by the CF wound on the outside.
Do you know who is building that kind of thin 0.6mm alu cylinders as I need some for other tanks containing hot oil under pressure please ?
