Default O.S. 1.60 FX Fuel Line ??

I just got my 1.60 FX today and would like to hook up the Tank correctly (24oz-Dubro). So what Fuel line size should I use ???? It looks like the Line from the Needle Valve to the Carb is 3/32 or Medium. But I am thinking I should use Large 1/8 the rest of the way ??? Also which Dubro kwikfill Valve Large or Small???? Will the small keep up with the demand? Because the Large one looks Really Big ??? This is the bigest glow Engine I have ever had. So a little learning curve here.

Default RE: O.S. 1.60 FX Fuel Line ??

On the larger engines, we usually use large fuel tubing, unless the runs are very short. The larger-diameter lines need to be tied in place so that they stay on and don't leak. They don't grip well to the barbs on most tanks or the engine. Using the larger fuel lines also means using a larger filler.
