Does the size of fuel tubing affect performance? For example on Monster Trucks and Buggies, what tubing size should be used vs Nitro On Road? I'm assuming medium tubing would work all around but curious as to whether this affects the engine in any way and performance?
 
More importantly, the length of the pressure line will affect the tuning. Too short and there's pulsing which can cause tuning irregularity. Too long and there's not enough pressure to push the fuel through.

I have a foot of fuel line on my serpent only because the Mugen X12 I use as backup (primary engine before I switched engines) had fuel consumption issues. To compensate for the longer travel for the fuel, I had to shorten the pressure line to provide enough force to push it through.

Don't get a line that's too big in diameter or it will keep slipping off the nipple.

Happy cows come from California! (darn TV commercial)

Is it dry yet?
 
And the whole time I was in Cali I didn't see a happy cow. I saw some cows, but they looked pretty sad.
 
He said nipple and diameter...all we need now is something about a connection ROD and a piston HEAD and we'd have a Dr. Phil special!

Can't you see it? "R/C Racers and Their Sexual Dysfunctions, On A Special Dr. Phil..."

Come on! Good stuff!

I think that's been done on Oprah, but it was more like how this guy's RC addiction was driving them to the poorhouse. Never saw it but read about it. haha . . .
