Hi Adam,
         They are absolutely NOT suitable for TC tank cap. They are for very
low current filtering applications, etc. Their life expectancy in a TC tank
could be measured in milliseconds. People will throw the word Tesla on any
auction of a high voltage item either out of ignorance or deliberate deception.
         Better to get some MMC caps from www.thegeekgroup-dot-org
