i'm not sure of an actualy technical reason, but on my jato when i ran short fuel lines as opposed to the stock routing (about 10 inches longer) i noticed that whenever it would flip over and land on its body it would die. when i went back to running the fuel lines long it could stay on its body for a much longer period of time. other than that i don't see a reason.
I think thats the only real reason. I remember some people who raced would put like 2ft of tubing on their trucks. they said they could store more fuel in there and have better races due to that extra fuel. I think its just a bunch of hog wash but if you really believe that stuff...[:-]
