has anyone measured how much pressure a RC engine puts into a fuel tank?

I don't have anything to accurately measure pressure that low.

i am guessing around 5 to 10 oz h20. i would like to find a way to stabilize the fuel tank pressure. clippard has some very good pneumatic devices. the local dealer is very helpfull.
Make sure your tank seals are good and put a low pressure one-way valve in the line. Probably can't get any better than that.

It's somewhere between nothing and almost nothing, but it would be neat if we could compare pipes that way.

right now i run a pressure system like this. 1. use a sullivan No. S756 check valve at the muffler, to hold pressure in the fuel tank. 2. the take a fuel tee fitting, plug one nipple with JB-weld. then drill a small hole in the JB-weld, to .035-.045 inches, the hole needs to vent pressure to the air. put the tee near the fuel tank this will stableize the pressure. iam not sure it really does a lot. but it makes me feel good. the hole size was just gusted at.
