     Where on the cab? I was just going over some drawings of the RS 1 and I can't see what you are looking for.

So are there two fuel tanks then?  I thought the oval tank mounted on the frame was a fuel tank.  Am I wrong on this or were there multiple fuel tanks located on the engine?  One under the cab and one under the frame.
