FYI....That loop is likely there for a reason. Often loops are put in lines to keep water from getting in or gas from getting out. I would suggest a loop stays there, just make it a big and unobstructed one. Also, check the vent that goes through the hull. Undo the line and blow through it from the outside.


Thanks! That's what i figured it was for. It is just too tight of a turn the way it is currently routed. The vent hole in the hull is clear. The vent tube has a coil around it to keep it from kinking. I think I have room to make the loop bigger. I think I will also add a water separator fuel filter like on diesel trucks. It is listed as "optional" in the manual. I run my diesel powerstroke on waste vegetable oil (I have a heated 2nd tank just for grease and a separate heated grease fuel filter) so I have a lot of experience with fuel filters!
