And how many zip ties are in your engine bay lol. Same stuff I use on my gas cans from the home depot racing department. That hose has a decent burst pressure, be it a tad on the heavy side, it would take a bit more then 20psi to make it close I think. Maybe the thought is proving the concept before investing in AN lines.

Okay, we have found some higher pressure line. The pic makes the aquarium line look less stout than it really is, but we felt the heat in the engine did make them soft. To be safe, we are putting in some Gates braided fuel hose. Getting on track at COTA tomorrow!!!! Hoping for a new personal best lap time. Anyone have a good time in mind for COTA other than my current 2:29? Starting a COTA thread tomorrow.
