inside of a nitro gas tank
 

I dont understand how the fuel will get up to the tube??? there is 1 tube going to the exaust and the tube that is going to the carb only attaches to the top of the gas tank....is this the way it should be???thanx

your tank should have two holes. From the hole on the bottom of the tank that tube should go to the carb, the top hole goes to the exhaust.

lol, there is 1 hole ontop of the gas cap that has the tube going to the exaust, and the tube in the back of the tank (ontop of the tank) that goes to the carb, but that tube only attaches to the top so i dont get how that works when the gas tank has less then a full tank????

The line that goes from the cap to the exhaust pressurizes the fuel tank. The fitting on the back of the tank probably has a pickup tube on the inside of the tank.

that is the thing, it dosent, so i guess i will have to fab something ???

I guess i'm SOL cause I cant even get my finger in there, can i just drill the exact size of a hole for the tubing to fit in there?

Here is a picture to explain it all. The line from the bottom of the tank(not seen in the picture) runs to the carb.

The fuel pickup line is the one next to it in the rear,not the one noted in the pic.

my tank only has 2 lines not 3 :( Please tell me if instead of putting a tube into the gas tank if i could just drill out the top insert nipple and plug it with a hose so it would reach the bottom of the tank.

sorry about the horrible picture taken with my 20$ digi cam

I dont know if its me but i still dont understand how the inside of the gas tank works, the line thats going to the carb attaches to the top so how would it get gas when it has a low tank???

It's very simple.

From the looks of your picture you have it hooked up correctly.

You only need two lines, a pressure line and a fuel line.

Nitro cars don't have fuel pumps, they rely on air pressure to move fuel through the lines.
