It's been so long that I literally forgot about that leaning condition. Interesting solution. Glad it works.
The original Savage tanks with the plunger (used to prime the fuel) were notorious for that.

I added an extra o-ring to the front post (under the fuel tanks lip) to give the tank a rearward tilt to resolve the issue.
You also get the benefit of drawing the fuel through the tanks sintered filter instead of needing to add an inline filter.
The original tanks didn't even have the sintered filter it was just a straight draw through the plunger mechanism.

My man. I truly appreciate this thread. I tried the revo tanks with rc4me mounts. I’ve went through 6 of those dang things. Most ridiculious money I’ve ever spent. I now know why they are only $4.


I’ve broken everyone I put on my x4.6. The xl hasn’t broken yet and I’ve wrecked the $%*t out of it. But, I broke two on my x putting fuel in it. Just flimsy junk.

I went back to the stock tank on the savages but, I’m going to do this.
