It's not that I haven't ever used silicon adhesive to seal the opening , I have used it on a couple of plane's...On this one I have the problem of the tank expanding & contracting because of the pressure the pump put out ,...I'm sorry if you were offended by my comment's, that was not my intent ....I also use alum spinner's ...Like I said in my last post ....To each there own......Some like chevy ,some like ford ......And some even like dodge...LOL.....JW quote

autoguns - I fuel proof the inside as well, but still don't like exhaust going inside the fuse. Get's everything all oily inside over time. Like you said, to each his own. That’s one of the things I like about RCU. You get different options from many different people. Then you have to select the best for you. We all learn from these discussions.
I have to admit that I'm not as concerned with the weight thing that some of you are. I don't want a tank in the air either, but then I don't like foam wheels, plastic spinners etc. Trade offs with both approaches. You just have to assemble to suit your specific wants and desires. As for the mount, I purchased a mount for this engine and not real concerned about it being used with other engines. Then again, the fit is perfect, tight and no slop. I have seen guys use both. It's all a matter of what you want.
