This is a simplified diagram showing how to connect the fuel lines to a tank that can be installed inside the car, to make it more shock-resistent. Below are some pictures of the modified Kadett in which we used this design.

The cap of the tank was drilled through to admit both fuel lines and was then sealed using a two-component putty that is fuel-resistent.

UPDATE: We got rid of the plastic tank and got a racing tank made from alloy from Burton Power, for safety reasons. Photos will follow shortly...
