Can anybody enlighten me as to why fuel tanks always come with the outlet on the top ? It makes far more sense to me to use the bottom tank connectors that are available and convert it. With the top outlet you always end up with a big air bubble in the tube where the fuel drains back out whilst the kart is standing. I know it clears once the kart gets going but it just seems wrong to me and having a bottom outlet would cure, or at least make the problem far smaller.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
