Default Muffler spitting raw fuel??

That's close. You don't need to bend the tube inside the tank back towards the front (I'm assuming that's the copper tube in there). On my Sullivan tanks, I bend the tubes up towards the top where's there's a small dimple showing on the top of the tank. One thing I learned on bending the copper tubes, since I don't have a bending tool - insert a piece of electrical wire almost the same diameter into the tube before bending it, that keeps it from crimping. Then after it's bent, just pull the wire out. You don't want to make the bend too sharp. I also file a little notch in the end of the tube where it almost touches the top of the tank. That way if it does get pushed up against the top, it still won't get plugged. Good Luck!!
