Where do you get every 12" from? or is that just what you have chosen to do?
I have one run over 16" and I don't think it will be a problem but I have no
technical support for my opinion. I would hate to see everybody over
engineer their fuel lines and add weight unnecessarily. On the other hand if
my unsupported fuel line length is excessive I would like to know before I
crack up another 250 hours.
