Big in japan please send me pictures of your pipe hanger where it mounts to the chassis. If the wire is not cut flush with the mount it can cause problems with the tank when the chassis flexes.
Thanks for supporting our products everyone!

Ok thanks. I have left the car exactly as was set up yesterday at the track to help with what may be going on, so I will be able to post/email photos today. the tank mount is reversed under the tank, as the pipe is short.
to another poster above, by 1mm i mean the tank is able to move up and down the post 1mm either way and forward/back i.e. i left the screw LOOSE, any looser and the tank would be flying around. the screw is already longer than stock, because as the pics above show, i put a massive soft rubber o ring ABOVE the tank below the washer also

i think you are very close to the mark with that. I bought a tank from Amain that was cracked on arrival, will post a photo soon. it was in a strange location at the bottom of the tank.
photos soon
