Default Fuel Line Question

I am replacing the fuel line on my mugen and i picked up fuel line that looked like the same diameter from the outside but the walls are thicker so the fuel flow hole is smaller. Will it make a difference? The line fits on all the fittings perfect though.

minus wont have as much fuel holding in the lines... might go from 3cc to 2cc in the fuel line.. should not make a big difference in tune..

plus... no more fuel lines ripping/falling off/ will last longer...

The fuel lines I know of have a 2mm or 2.4mm hole, both are used in all classes of nitro racing.

If the line is short you will not notice a thing but if they are long the 2mm will build up more resistance which can affect the top rpm.
