Default RE: Fuel Tank placement question..

You can also use a Cline or Iron Bay pressure regulator systems.  They use a check valve to retain pressure in the tank as developed from the exhaust system and then a demand regulator up close to the carb.  Takes a few turns on the starter to get the pressure to build up but then the engine is off and running.  Since it is a demand system, one only has to set the carb once and you are done.

Good luck on ordering a couple of quarts of Nitro.  It is going to cost you and arm and leg to get it shipped to you.  Probably requires a Hazmat license to ship and that is costly.  See if you can find a speed shop that sells it.  Drag races use a lot of it in their fuel systems.

Don't forget to get oil too.  You will need klotz and/or Castor oil for lubrication of the engine.  Were I you, I would use a blend of both oils and about 17 or 18% of the total fuel.
