Status: offline 		i have a volcano the out line of the fuel tanks nipple comes real close to the spur gear i have been to local shops to see if their is a 90 degree nip so it would have a turn and not be a problim any more seems no matter how i run the line and use any number of zip ties still rubs a hole in line not real fast or any thing like that just a pain to have to change line from a bad set up maby red cat should look in to a differnt tank with a out nip on the other end just a thought

Status: offline 		so the fuel outlet from the tank hits the spur gear? i cant picture how its doing that. you cant shorten it up or anything? something doesnt seem right but i have a tsunami it may be different since its a 2 speed

I like your replies.. LOL....well back to the post.
When I hade my Volcano i was having the same problem. The fuel line would come out of the tank and loop around and rub the spur gear.( this was a manufacture mess up) but the way i fixed it was take the tank out... and mount the tank on the top of the top plate.... and it was way out of the way of the spur gear. Check out some of the pics i had when i made this mod.... hope it helps you out...
