heh,  my plan for now is to modify a nalgene bottle.  it's lexan, so
the material is fine, and it's clear so you can see the level....  It
should mount just fine to something with a few big hose clamps.  
Knock offs can be had for aout $4 and hold 1L.  I don't see any reason
this would _not_ work jsut fine.  there should be no reason it does
not pass tech.
