So to summarize, the shorter the pressure line the better? Meaning that the shorter the line the higher the pressure?
Too short of a pressure line can cause an inconsistant tune. You want between 6-8 inches to equalize the pressure, too short and the pressure in the tank will pulsate. Too long and you can't get enough pressure consistantly.
Also, if your fuel line is too long it will cause problems. Imagine if you hook up a hose to a hose bib and turn the water on. If you add another hose you lose pressure at the end. Keep adding hoses and eventually the water will just dribble out. The pressure at the source has to push more and more fluid at once.
