No quite the opposite is true.

Try this...

Take a piece of new long tubing, say about 16 inches, and blow through it.

Now take a piece of new tubing say about 4 inches in length and try the same thing.

Big difference! It's rather amazing how much it changes.

Like running electricity down a length of wire, the longer the wire, the more resistance.... same with the fuel.

The short tube provides very little resistance to fuel flow.

Some people "loop" a piece of tubing around a tank to solve some attitude related problems.

However if you can avoid this, it is worth doing to make sure that pressure is consistent to the carb.

Keep your tubing as short as you can.


If you have a bubble problem fix that by other means... long tubing does not.

A Dubro "sintered" clunk helps a lot to get rid of bubbles... as does using an anti-vibration engine mount, and padding the fuel tank mount.
