Default Saito question?

How do you get pressure in the fuel tank if you are using a Saito flex exhaust? A couple of guys at the field have been trying to convert there exhausts to use these flex tubes but say they aren't getting enough flow from the fuel tank without a nipple and tube to pressurize the tank.

You install your own pressure fitting up near the header somewhere, where there is enough meat to drill and install it. It works great if you use a 90 degree alum. adaptor that you can drill into for sure.

Thanks guys. Yeah, one that I've seen has the 90 degree adapter so he was planning to drill it and put a nipple on it.
