[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 716626, member: 956"] Fuel line routing.. My first thought was to use 5/16 id hose for less restriction. Then I tried routing that fat hose and realized what a PITA it was. I recalled KaitsDad saying he used 1/4 plastic so the bends could be tighter... and I gave up on 5/16 for now. Here's a pix of my proposed 5/16 routing.. [IMG]https://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i320/dcarver220b/FJR/Aux%20Tank/DSC05158-1.jpg[/IMG] And the 1/4 plastic routing - [IMG]https://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i320/dcarver220b/FJR/Aux%20Tank/DSC05160.jpg[/IMG] The plastic hose is so much more workable... After all is done, I may try to find 5/16 plastic (heat resistant, gasoline proof, yada yada yada) *if* the 1/4 doesn't adequately flow the main tank. I'll cross that bridge later, if the problem exists. On a side note, not much sleep lately, server issues at work and long nights. Good night RenoJohn-Boy! [/QUOTE]
