Ok. Here is the video of me doing something very stupid! It was done in one take (I'm stupid but not crazy). I must admit, it was quite an accurate shot! My fence was in imminent danger of damage but I actually hit the small tree dead center!


Here is a closeup of the damage done! (I never liked that drip tip anyhow and I think the carto needed to be changed anyways!!!!

It is an old Map Tank that I dremeled out to fit a Boge carto. I added a fill port by drilling a 3/16" hole and used a 4-40 size machine screw that I cut to about 1/8" length. The screw self taps the poly and can be used over and over without stripping the poly. I've since found the screws in 1/8" Black Oxide Coated SS here. Stainless Steel Machine Screw, Black Oxide Finish, Pan Head, Phillips Drive, #4-40, 1/8" Length (Pack of 10) | SmallParts.com
This can be done to any tube making any tank easily refillable. Takes all of one minute to make!

If it had a matching screw on the other side, you could call it Frankentank lol
