STEP 33

	For STEP 33 we need these parts.
	The tank comes pre assembled and the pressure nipple on top need to be angles like the picture shows.
	Now fit the black plastic fuel spilling collar over the rotation pint of the tank lid. The manual suggest to fit an other larger and thicker pin through that hole but leave it as it is. But knowing replacing this pin can be a complicated job I added a simple but effective modification.
	I took a piece of 2 m/m metal wire and bend the end like the picture shows.
	Now slide the wire through the hole.
	Secure the end with a 2 m/m stopper.
	Cut off the remain part of the wire and the modification is done. The black plastic fuel spilling collar can easily be removed without loosing during competitions.
	Fit two plastic fuel tank posts to the tank with 3x12 m/m self tapping round head screws.
	Mount the fuel tank to the chassis with (green marked) 3x12 m/m self tapping counter sunk screws.
	The fuel tank mounted on the chassis. But when you spill fuel where does it go? Straight to the chassis!!!!! GS forgot to put parts in the kit to make a route for this spilled fuel.   So I made it myself.
	Put a piece of silicone tube over the exit. Drill a hole of 2.5 m/m and tap 3 m/m thread from the bottom of the chassis in the right spot as the picture shows. Then fit a 3 m/m fuel nipple in the chassis.
	Make the right length and fit the silicone tube to the nipple.
	Here the fuel will leave the chassis through the small hole and this will keep the inside of the car cleaner when some one refuels with a lot of spilling.
	For those who like to open the lid of the fueltank with a little ease just fit zip-ty to the lid. Slide a piece of silicone fuel line over it. Place a round servo arm over the zip-ty and secure the top with an other zip-ty. Ashame that GS and other companies do not include these simple parts.
