It helps with fuel bubbling up. Also if you use a longer fuel tube for the carb it will stay running longer in case of a roll over.

Yes I know. If you use longer line from pipe to tank it helps with foaming. I have had this problem with my T maxx and a picco big block. They said the engine was giving too much pressure and to add about 6-8 more inches of line to keep the pressure low. I did it and it worked. Its mostly for bigger motors with restrictive exhaust. If you use the right exhaust for the motor that problem wont happen. Its like if you had a big block motor and used a .12 small block exhaust the tank will build too much pressure and cause the gas to bubble because there is no where else for the pressure to go. If you put longer fuel line it restricts the pressure going into the tank. The longer the line the more restriction to pressure you have.
