It says it the first photo that the tubing has to be 2.5mm. Does it have to be 2.5mm or at least 2.5mm? I see alot of guys using 1/4 fuel line in the pics.
Yeah, pondered on that, too. Many years ago, in chemistry class, we were taught how to read the 'meniscus' of a fluid in a tube, the concave shape of the fluid surface caused by surface tension with the tube walls. The rule was to read the bottom of this curvature, ignore the rising edges as they were simply the result of that surface tension.
Now, if the surface tension is sufficient, and the tube small enough, the fluid will climb up the tube due to 'capillary' action.
So, I would recommend choosing a tube size large enough to avoid too much miniscus curvature, or even worse, capillary action. As such, I'd say that the 2.5mm would be the minimum, 1/4" would be fine.
In a fast-paced competitive marketplace, there's a lot of pressure on publications departments to get brochures, manuals, ...etc. out the door. Things happen, non-tech writers get involved, and some pubs come out goofy, especially if they're trying to translate from an eastern language. You would've enjoyed some of the early Honda tech/parts bulletins we had, kinda like some of the chinese documents we see today. I figure that's the case here. That's one reason why I love this forum. Many fine members here have pointed-out and clarified these things...
