    Has anyone ever seen or know of a spec regarding how much fuel should freely run from the fuel line in a given time? Example - 12oz in 45 seconds or something like that?

    Thanks in advance.

    Enough fuel should flow that you immediately say "oh crap, the fuel line is disconected!"

    There is no fuel pump, so no flow rate spec exists.

    If you want a comparison, assume that the flow rate will be roughly identical to that of water runing from a bucket through a 1/4" hole.

    +1. The flow rate is as fast as gravity can pull it through the tube size and length.
