Just curious, does the length of the fuel line and pressure line matter? If so, what should it be?

I dont know if it matters but i recently shortend my intake line to as short as possible..
And if you have seen them on a Revo they are long...
It made a difference to my idle and my low tank lean problem...
Ill now be keeping it short for a few weeks then put the long one back on just to confirm it was the line that made a difference...
I beleive it was cause i didnt change ANYthing else...
Pressusre line on a Revo is short as it can be allready.. I've heard not to change that

i did the same ...i red that on another forum ( was for a savage ) ...but i tried it on my revo ( shortest line possible ) and it seemed to be easier to tune ..but i didnt get the chance to realy test it out ...my rx batt died on me and the truck went full speed in 3 feet long grass (thank god for long grass ..lol..) ..but it did seem to work better 
...more stable tune
...more stable tune

i got it yesterday ...i ordered it after the long grass incident
...but it doesn't seem to work for signal loss ...but it does put the breaks on when battery is low ....thats the most important to me ...if i loose signal , the 2.4ghz system puts it back to neutral .( good enough for me )

I know on all my HPI R/Cs they show fuel line length right in the manual, so it certainly does effect tune I would say. I know some people like a long fuel line (tank to carb) so if they flip on their lid it'll stay running until they can get to the truck.
I experimented with a one-way valve on my Savage years ago and it didn't help. I know a lot of people mess with tank location, do header tanks, etc. to get them to run better after half tank...
