inside tank fuel line
Where, if anywhere is one able to buy fuel line that is more flexable? Inside fuel tanks of the four through one oz. size the line will never rest on the bottom of the tank. They just kind of stick straight out there even with a hefty clunk.

RE: inside tank fuel line
When you buy a new tank, you get a short piece of clear tubing that seems more flexible. Don't know where you can get more. Keeping the brass tube as short as possible helps.

RE: inside tank fuel line
The normal silicone fuel line is too thick-walled to do what you want. You might try a smaller line or try the K&S Sta-Flex. But be careful and check the measurements. Don't rely on things like "small, medium, or large". Different brands call'em different things. The K&S Sta-Flex is still stiff, but it is thinner than the regular silicone. I have used it in a 2oz tank with success, but I don't think it would work on anything smaller. The best you can do is to keep the brass short and use the wire ties to hold the line on.
