After some recent events, haha. I decided to throw a video together to support my reasoning. I don't really expect this to change anyones mind, but I felt it was worth throwing out there.
I do not want any name calling, fit throwing, or crying going on here. I also fully expect that if there is the slightest hint of anything like that GP403 will lock this up nice and quick.

If we can talk reasonably and there is something else you would like to see done or tested and i'm able to I gladly will.

I realize that there is only about 5' total of fuel line here, but it does climb around 30-36" i'd guess. Far more than the 5-6" that was stated to be the limit. This was put together with extra scrap pieces I had laying around. The fuel pump is some form of aftermarket sbc pump. You may say that an aftermarket doesn't count but it's all I had. The reasn it was just laying around is because it was ditched for not being able to support my 350, so I'd say that about evens it out. If anyone has a pump they'd rather see used, send it to me lol.

Hopefully you can see that the line has no fuel in it prior to being installed, and that the pump has none either. I was actually surprised at how quickly it primed, as the first time I did it I got a face full of gas. You all can prolly enjoy that, however that's not the video you will see, lol. But is the reason for the short piece of hose on the outlet side.

Again let's try not to argue. This is just have fun with amd may open the door to more experiments in the future.

someone mentioned it's a full moon so I think the gravity pull of the full moon may have helped to create this anomaly... :shock:
