Does size matter

[Lay26]

i was wondering if the size of the brass tubing on a 21 hydro makes a difference?is 1/8 tubing good or is 5/32 better in this application?

..................................forgot to mention it's for fuel

Is it harder to suck soda though a straw or a stir stick?

Well I gather the brass tubing is for water cooling???

If so then 1/8 should be fine. That will probably still overcool your engine.

Anything above a 45 and you are going to need bigger water lines (and bigger fuel lines 67 and above)

I just read through this post and I think that things are being mixed up.

I just want to be sure that I'm running the correct fuel and water lines!

<_< I swear - size matters DEPENDING ON THE SUBJECT! Then there's the additional factor of you all getting together and talking about your tools and/or parts and the distortion of perception of size sets in...

I'm sure I'm going to pay for this being extremely outnumbered... h34r:

Case in point that size only matters to guys - after the first two posts of "does size matter" and "sucking soda through a straw or stir stick" everyone was so distracted they forgot what the tubing was for :lol:

Lay,

Like Joe said bigger is most likely a better choice, but goin overboard

on the size won't help. I run 1/8 lines on my 21 rigger(fuel). And it's plenty.

 

[Chris Wood]

Lay,

Mark is correct about using the bigger line, but consider this.. If you are going bigger line there is a point where you can accually go bigger that the size of the spray bar, and I have talked to people about this and i can't believe that it is going to help when you get that big.

one other thing. try to keep the line as short as possible, you would be amazed at the performance difference.

Bigger is better even if bigger than the spray bar.

Does it matter or do you need it on a .21? No.

1/8" is fine.
