Ahhh simple answer to that! You can take a Zip tie and put it on the fuel top lid, should be a hole. then put on the body and stick the zip-tie out the back of the truck and WALLA! [8D]

This is how we do that

Cut a 2" circle out of your windshield or side window so you can reach it with fuel bottle.

Put a long zip tie on your tank lid run it out the back window pull to open tank.

Hope this helps.

ICrashThings,
I'll have to get you the picture tomorrow due to the fact that it's not mine. But, the lid just has a solid lip and is a little curved. This link should lead you to an article review that shows a pic.

No, you don't have to drill a hole in the handle just zip the ziptie around the handle of the lid and dremel a hole in the side of the body for the tie to stick out ofthen make sure the other side has a hole and stick your fuel bottle nozzle through that hole...I have a XXX-NT and mine's exactly like that and it works.
