Thanks for all your help fellas - You we're all very informative and polite to me which i appreciate greatly, it has enticed me to use this forum from now on for my RC questions.
There's no fuel pressure tube nipple on the PIPE??? Then perhaps if you find a nipple, put some fuel tube around it will it jam in there and seal the hole?

Car looks immaculate, you know you are doing it hard with that chassis configuration so don't spend too much $$$ on it, good on you for enjoying it and hope you have a blast!
