I routed mine that way also but haven't noticed it pushing fuel out, I'll have to go back and watch this to see, thanks for the heads up. I can't understand why it would push fuel out unless a lot of splash under rough conditions and the pressure pushing it out, I'll keep a watch out for it though. I also thought someone said the short tube was in case it turned over, it wouldn't let fuel spill out, don't understand why that would stop it without some sort of check valve.
