Discard the plastic pipe pieces in the run to the overflow tanks. Just make those runs with one long piece of fuel hose. Tie wrap the hoses so they do not chafe or move around. You can also cover the hoses with split loom for added protection if you like.
Does anyone know of a source for the crimp-type hose clamps that are the original style? Are they worth using or should I just use the screw/clamp type? |
