Default Firehammer with DDM pipe and fuel lines?

Hi,

Just got a DDM pipe for my Firehammer and love it. But the Firehammer has so many fuel lines and fuel vent lines that are way too close to the new pipe. Has anyone re-routed their fuel lines for an after market pipe? Looking at pictures of a Marder tank it looks like there are only two lines coming from the right side away from where the pipe would be. I would really appreciate any advice or pictures if you guys have had the same problem.

Thanks in advance!

-Bill

I replaced the stock rubber fuel/vent lines with silicone lines. The silicone can get against the exhaust without a problem. I had to slightly drill out the holes in the gas tank to fit the slightly larger O.D. of the silicone. Good luck

I have had a silicone fuel line burn and rupture because it was near the pipe. Route it elsewhere if you can.

Thanks for the replies. I just ordered a Marder tank and bracket. It's a lot more expensive than the FH one but the piece of mind will hopefully be worth it. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks a gain,

Bill

No. I just looked at it and it is either a mirror image or he shot the mirror itself. Look at the the clock in the second picture. It must be 3:00 because the 3 looks like an "E" (mirrored also).

I've noticed that. Alot of those photos are flipped, you can see the word monster spelled out backwards in some.
