InitialD, What tank did u use? the lid is different? Your lid nipple on the cetre behind the lid?
It's the same Serpent tank from the kit. I drilled a hole and put the nipple in the center, plug the other two sides with grub screws. When I do this, I do not need to change the position of the nipple if I run clockwise / counterclockwise tracks. Not a must but just my preference.

The manual suggested we put the lid nipple on the right for right hand sweeper...why? other than explained in the manual pg 22?
I believe this has got something to do with the moment of inertia forces acting on the car (and the fuel in the tank) when the car takes the corners.
