fuel line length for portable tank

[WhalerMerc]

I have 1979 70hp that is on a 15ft whaler. I am planning on upgrading to a 12 gallon tank that will sit in the stern directly in front of the engine. Would there be any harm in cutting the length of the fuel line to make a direct line from the tank back to the engine? I would leave a little slack of course but only a minimal amount. Thanks.

It would be no problem...

Also with wiring, it is custom for your needs. The shortest distance between 2 points is... I am always checking my integrity of my craft. I have never walked back. As long as there are no restrictions, the fuel should flow. <br />So your custom fuel line has easy acces to your fuel primer bulb. Easy visual identifiable connections. Tank vent position references. ( sloshing versus running)<br />Catch 2 fishes
