Replacement or aftermarket fuel tank

The GP1 classes are the only ones that allow it.


Where it stands, class by class

24 classes, grouped by the answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class that borrows its rules. 8 of them publish no component rules of their own and are marked below; for those, the link to the parent class is read from the categories table rather than stated in the rulebook.
