how can i secure my airline through the cap of my 2 liter bottle. i do not want to have to order those bulkhead fittings and i have tryed epoxy but can' get a good seal.
does anyone have any other suggestions of what i can use that i can get locally?

thanks,
Wes
 
I agree with jmhart. The first few I made I drilled 1/4" holes for 1/4 hose and then used globs of silicone. I recently tried the smaller hole techniquie and have a diy bottle on a new tank I just set up running no problem without a drop of silicone. In a nutshell, if you are using 1/4 airline, drill a 3/16 hole. Cut the end of the hose on an angle so you can poke it into hte hole, then pull it through with pliers. If I can find the link with more details and pictures I'll post it for you
 
yep...just what i did...1/16 smaller than the tubing. worked perfectly.
