fuel line loop
I've noticed in a lot of the pictures posted that there is a loop (one of the lines usually runs to the back of the tank and then forward again) in the fuel lines. Why and what's the purpose.

RE: fuel line loop
For one, it prevents fuel from pouring out the vent line when tipping the plane on it's nose when working on it. And also, it helps prevent fuel from siphoning out the vent line during down lines in flight.
