with that way i have cut the side pod and using the xray tank inserts i have done three full practice days and a full race day with out any problems with the tank, and it was on the practice days i stop after every crash and checked the tank, race day i checked after every heat and end of finals,,,,, as i do drive this hard, when i do crash it is a hard one, but with all the mods i have done all has been good, and the temp and not been over 5c at most on all the days of testing or racing, one practice it was sub zero first thing and still all was good
