I know that fuel line size has been beat to death here and everyone SWEARS you HAVE to run 1/2" line to get any performance at all. I am wondering why that is so. Think about this for a minute. Assuming you get 10 MPG fuel mileage, most of you get at least that much. At 10 MPG you use 6 gallons of fuel at 60 MPH. At 5 MPG you would use 12 gallons per hour and at 2.5 MPG!!! you would use 24 gallons per hour.Now, has anyone ever taken the line off of the VP-44 and put it into a gallon container and bypassed the pump for one minute? I am guessing that it would about fill the container in a minute. I have not tried it yet but I will once I relocate my pump. That would be 60 gallons per hour out of the stock lines. This, by the way is based on an upgraded pump, in my case a DDRP. I have not done this exact test yet but I will when I relocate my pump. I have forgotten to tighten the banjo fitting on the outlet of the filter and had the truck still start all the while blowing fuel EVERYWHERE! I know what you are going to say, "well it can't pump that much under pressure". This is true up to a point. Relief valve is set at 14# I believe and anything over that is bypassing back to the tank so yes it can if it can maintain the pressure. Also the pressure would only affect the pump output and not the line flow established in the previous test.So basically here is what I am saying. You have a pump rated at 70 GPH, lets cut that by 50% for the pressure loss, no way are you losing that much but just the hell of it. That leaves 35#. Let's also say you are getting 2.5 MPG. (You need a new/bigger truck!). That STILL leaves 11 more lbs. than you actually need. Note that these are very drastic figures and no way are you ever going to lose that much to line loss or are you going to get that kind of mileage. But the mileage would compensate for the WOT blasts. I see no real reason for needing 1/2 inch line other than peer pressure.Opinions?Rick
