Fullforce High Flow Fuel Kit Loose Fit Fix?!?

[G-Man]

Ok today I got some time to go through my truck a little. I replaced the fuel hoses and clunk. Decided to try the FF high flow fittings. Noticed the fittings are loose in the plug holes. I assume this is common. All these years and I have never uses these fittings. I guess some thin wall fuel hose around the fittings then down in the plug holes to tighten it up? What made me go the FF route. I noticed the fuel hoses looked cinched down on from the tank plug holes. And sure enough they were. Then ran into this issue. Any input appreciated. Here is my current situation. Thanks Gman

Yep that's what I had to do. Slid some fuel line over them so they fit in the holes

Thanks for the reply! I am going back down to the garage now to do it. Had some family time to attend to lol. More like nap time during a movie.

About the same here. Except it's in my dbxl, so there were some height mods needed for it to sit in my short tank

my baj 3 hole leaks on the breather mines the snappy kit ?

 

[Seandonato73]

Same here.... retrofitting stuff can be a pain in the arse....

 

[DougStar]

Ahhh? mines a snappy kit?‍?‍ not ff??

my baj 3 hole leaks on the breather mines the snappy kit ?

 

[Seandonato73]

The snappy kit uses the ffrc fittings not...

 

[DougStar]

Yes that's the piece of junk kit

Yes that's the piece of junk kit

The Snappy vent never made any sense to me. Always seemed like a solution looking for a problem. But I've also never had a single issue with the cap vent doing its job. I've also never seen any issue with fuel delivery using the 3/16"x1/8" fuel lines, but I can see some utility with the FFRC kit. I suppose if I ever feel that my engine is starved, they will make it into ye ole shopping cart.

Losi 5b has the ff high flow thingys ??? work great never had a problem ?? probably just go back to the double bung and loose the breather??

I have the snappy kit on my baja, the breather supplied with the kit leaked all over the place so i changed it for an rfx dirt bike one and all is good.
Also be sure to block the stock breather??
