Yeah Ted... that's why I implied, jokingly, about the fuel line size... because its 5/16"..... and kinda throws off the 1/4" barbed fitting theory in my mind.
I just figured "let it flow.." and didn't say anything.

Liquids flowing via gravity, thru a circuit, reduce in flow and increase in pressure when the encounter a reduction in cross section.
The opposite occurs when a smaller diameter turns into a larger diameter, flow increases and pressure reduces.
When this occurs in multiples in the same circuit, large to small to large to small to large again, the effect, especially if ocurring in a fairly short length of circuit, wreaks havoc on calculations. Just mentioning that.
I do agree that "if it works for someone, its fine".... for the person its working for.

Edit...darned spell check changes words to other words... but never corrects my poor spelling...heheheh
