there are pressure nipples that go on to the exhaust that might work but it ould be the best to replace the tank if you can

Any tank will do the trick just have to make sure it fits, i would bring my old tank with me and try to match it.

what ill try to do is enlarge the hole in the tank where the little tip thing snapped off, until its about the width of the cylnder, (the tube thingy) and then ill try and like jam it inthere, maybe silicone around it so no nitro can come out and sutff and keep it air tight. if that doesnt work then ill just buy a new tank lol.

yeah so i was tinkering on my tank, and i lost the little tab that snapped. so i was like bummed. but then i saw my old antenna tube lying right there and gave me an idea. i stuck it in the fuel line, and it was the exact width of the thing i lost. so i drilled the tank hole bigger so i can jam the antenna tube into it. its pretty snug, and it doesnt come out when i pull on the fuel line. ill silicone it to ensure it stays there [8D]
