    Go down and across rather than trying to go straight over to the other side.

      The fuel lines on Kong are fairly long and loopy with a filter running mostly horizontal at the bottom on the loop. Then up to the fuel T on the opposite side. Never had a problem with air lock or fuel flow. Hooked 'em up long, figured it was easier to shorten if there was a problem than to lengthen. No probs, so I left 'em alone.

        Yes that is on old man. But I have a standard tank with no octy. I have the vacuum petcocks on there. And the angle on them are not very pleasing either
