Either he's wrong (cos it is possible) or you already have one.

He's probably referring to re-using the plastic end tanks - you can't really make a thicker core if you do.

To make an appreciably thicker core you'd need to fabricate new (much deeper) end tanks and then no problemo.
I'm just here for the gasoline.

Or people were just told they were large capacity... :lol:

But yes, you need new, metal larger end tanks and a double thickness core.
