There's a lot 4043, 4943, 5183, 5356, 5554, 5556, 5654

Here is a aluminium filler chart a lot of times depends on properties you want click on top link for aluminium filler chart.

why use standard nozzles after gas lens where invented. Kinda of like starting fires by rubbing sticks together.

I use 5356 filler on all fuel tanks and build them out of 5052.
