The rubber band method is the classic way of attaching the tank, but I have used the method shown in these photos for some years with great success. Holes are drilled through the fuselage and servo screw bushings are inserted on the left side. Aviation safety wire holds the tank in place. The tank should not be seated directly on the fuselage, but rest on dense foam rubber or inner tube.
