Default T-Maxx fuel tank

I there an easy replacment tank for the T-maxx??
I changed to the blue traxxas pipe now my tank foams up and air get in the lines.
There is 2ft of presure line on it that helps a little.
My Hyper 7 tank has baffels that work well in that car, but the tank is to long to mount
without moving the bat bx.
Is there somthing I can put in the pressure line to regulate it? Add more line?
or is there a good replacement out there.
I've also just finished a new T-Maxx build with a sirio .23 w/sirio T-maxx pipe and it has the same problem of bubbles in the line
from the foamed up fuel. I,ve tried differant fuels.
There has to be a good tank that doesn't require moving anything else.
Thank you..

if you are running 2' of pressure line that may be the problem...try to run the recommended length of pressure line

I've read on other threads to lengthen it. That's why it's 2'. Have you changed your exaust on your T-Maxx?
Thank you..

the preasure line should be as short as possible...remember its the line running from the pipe to the tank. your other line could be longer and that would be fine. but not the preasure line.

the fuel line, the one from the tank to the carb, should be longer. the pressure line, the one from the pipe to the tank, should be shorter. shorten the line first because i dont think the tank is your problem

I put the longer pressure line in because the short one was foaming the feul. On the Sirio truck I changed the cap to an ofna one that the presure line feeds into. Seems to be better. The tank still gets a foamy and there's still bubbles in the line.Especaily when the tank get low. unacceptable.
I still have the stock pipe on the 2.5 it's fine till I switch pipes.
Id like to hear fron cats that have delt w/the T-Maxx tank. Or have switched pipes, engine and pipe and have no issues.
Thank you...
