Fuel tank blew open.
Yes, Another part on My MGT finally broke! The fuel tank!
I was outside driving around in snow and i hit into a stop sign pretty hard. I didnt see any body damage so i just thought nothing of it and 2 seconds later it got a low sound. I went to turn it off and i took off the body and there was my fuel tank...blown open![8D] there is fuel everywhere on this truck! and the air filter is soaked in fuel. Im going to have to tare it all down and clean it...finally i have something to do lol. heres a pic, because we all love pictures:
