Hi All,
Strange question. The rubber fuel lines that come out from under the tank both are kinking right where they leave the tank nipples. I cut them down as short as I can. It still kinked. Its like the nipple is too long, or the tuning is not strong enough. It came from tangerine racing. It gets nasty black all over me if it gets fuel on it. Kind of weird fuel lines would not be ok around fuel.... Thanks, Peter |

I used wire loom around the gas line under the tank to prevent it from kinking. Wrap it around the line and use tie wraps to keep it from coming off. Similar to the spring idea. I got it at the local Ace hardware store. Something similar to this. https://www.cabletiesandmore.com/black-wire...NgaAixCEALw_wcB
