Default Quick gas engine question.

Will I have to have a back pressure line to the tank on my DA 50? (when it arrives!)

Having never run gas before, I was just wondering what the fuel tank set up is.
Of course, 1 line to the carb, and I will also have 1 line to a fuel dot. (don't want to use a fuel T)
Will there be a backpressure line to the muffler?

Paul you can use 1 to carb, 1 to fuel dot and 1 for a vent. OR 1 to carb with a tee to dot and 1 for the vent, this is the way I have my DA 50 configured. I have the tee 1 inch from the carb so when I am done fueling the lines are full of fuel, choke on , 6 flips , choke off, ing on , starts on the second flip. Both systems work well. The carb has a built in diaphragm pump, no pressure line needed.

Not only is a pressure line NOT needed, it would create a safety hazard--do not pressurize the tank.
