Dude ... the rubber 'gromet' or stopper is not enough to seal the tank properly. The metal discs are used to sandwich the rubber stopper, the rubber will expand as you tighten the screw (sandwiched effect - imagine this with 2 nice lanky gals ... hehehe ... ) and this will seal the tank properly. Please do not over tighten the screw as you may pop the tank. Just see that the rubber stopper is slightly expanded and that it is fitting tight, firm and snug.

Thanks man, I have to go to my lhs and buy some more aluminum tubing because i broke one trying to bend it. I did not know that about the discs. See I told you I was new at building ARF's. I'll see if I can't get it done today. Oh before I forget, when you thin epoxy to use it a a sealer on the front where the engine goes, they mention thinning it with alcohol, is that just normal rubbing alcohol?
