Default Can I use 1/2a fuel line in the tank of my saito 91?

I recently bought a mustang and the tank has 1/2a fuel line in it. Does anybody else run this set-up or will this cause a lean condition? Thanks -Eric

I'm just going to swap it with reg fuel line. No sense in taking a risk.

ARFs and kits go cheap on fuel tanks and plumbing. I just pay a few bucks and get the good stuff.

Actually, EBG, considering the rate of flow over the duration of a flight, smaller fuel line shouldn't matter. If the length of 1/2A line restricts flow, a small adjustment to the needle valve/settings should compensate.

Still, I agree. Normal size fuel line makes sense. One less possible problem to deal with.
