Thrillrider7 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Can't seem to find this answer anywhere... Does anyone use an external tank for their fog machines? The one I have has a 1.2L tank (removeable) and for the nights I use my fogger, I dont want to have to run and fill it up every half hour. Is there any way to use a larger capacity tank? I was thinking of connecting a larger tank (higher up) to the fogger with a hose, but wanted to see if there were other ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hvasta Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 What about finding a large tupperware container, going to AutoZone/Pep Boys, someplace like that for a fitting and small fuel line (vacuum line would work too, and plumb it in, should be cheap, easy to do.

chipwdw Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 it can work. just fyi on some of the really cheap foggers the pump cant handle the pressure if the container is much higher than the pump, most are made to draw the fluid into the pump and not hold the pressure back. but it can work. check out some halloween sites for more info, i am at work and dont have any links.

TJ Hvasta Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The haloween forum I'm always on that has the BEST ideas is www. HalloweenForum.com. Go to the Prop section and look thru, if you don't find anyone already trying it, post a question, HF is always manned and you'll prob get an answer back before you can make coffee..

Will Sanders Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I seem to recall Elation had a external tank for fog machines that simply pumped more fluid into the original tank. Can't seem to find a link to it right now, but it they did exist at one point.Will Sanders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
