Fuel line?
My fuel line seems to have air bubbles in it at times...only when it reaches say half tank? Will adding more fuel line help this? I know there are a lot of posts for half tank lean. But it happens some times when I just fill the tank up half way. I have a nitro star motor with an hpi rs3 tank...it for my drag car.

RE: Fuel line?
replace the fuel lines, theirs wholes in them that's whats giving you bubbles causing your motor to lean out, just replace the existing lines with new fuel tubing.

Make sure your fuel cap is seating all the way and that the o-ring has not been compromised. A tiny air leak there will let the tank turn into an air bubble factory.

there is no "good" fuel line its pretty much all the same. I like dubro because of the colors. i always keep some clear line handy just because.

RE: Fuel line?
I had similar issues on mine that I bought used. Replaced both lines and it worked like a dream.
I just bought generic fuel lines, but I picked a light color so I could very easily tell when the fuel was primed properly.
