I'd like to re route the fuel line but it looks like there is no extra fuel line. Where can you get fuel line and to you need male adapters to connect the pieces? Can you take the stock fuel line out of the tank and replace it with a larger piece?

I replaced mine... Carefully remove the black grommit with lines going into tank, remove 'clunker' install on new line... I would say pull the return line off first and replace with new line, so that way you do not mix the two up... It is going to be hard to get the black part back in, but it will go... I left enough line so it can route near the rollbar and used a zip tie to hold in place...

I didn't like the black fuel lines, I like to be able to see something move in the line... about 10mins later and it was done...

Is there any trick (besides will power and patience) to getting the plug that the fuel lines go through into the tank? I pulled on mine and it was TIGHT so I quit pulling because I thought if it was hard to get out it was going to be hard to get back in. I added fuel line using a double ended male adapter but I figure this is just asking for air leaks. I was in a hurry to run it was the reason I did it the way I did.

You nailed it... just power and time, you don't want to use anything sharp cause you might cut it... I just kept pulling and rolling my finger and it popped out... and as for getting it back in, it isn't that bad... you put one side in and just keep working it around... Good Luck...

If the hose is tight on the fitting you shouldn't get any air leaks but you can put a zip tie around each end to insure that you don't MO
 
I just removed the entire plug.... pull up one side with both thumbs and work our way around


To reinstall put one side on, then use a small flat head screwdriver and push the plug back it in the hole (little bites)... then spin it......very easy to do:) :)

What is the ID and OD of the fuel line?


There is a GoPed / RC / ATV / JetSki shop in the next town south of me so I can get some there.


So the main fuel line is the one that connects by the primer bulb? And the return is the other line?
 
I grabbed semi-transparent/blue line from DDM (part jj32x). Looks cool but haven't installed it yet.


Should I add a fuel filter of some kind too? If so, what is the best kind?
 
I recommend to use an in line filter with the filter in the tank.


I have been using this one and vary happy with it.

PS: I like to use DDM site because I fined it easy to fined what I want. I am not promoting this site. I have been accused of this earlier. All what is on this site is avalabel on many other sites.
 
Here is mine...
