The Problem:
Keeping fuel line attached to where you want it can sometimes be a problem. Nitro fuel contains oils and once the fittings get a coat on them the fuel line is more likely to get pulled or fall off under the rigors of racing. Zip ties have been used in the past but they look ratty and can cut into the line causing their own set of problems.
The Team Solution:
Cut some of your fuel tubing into small 3mm cross sections, take a section and put it over the end of some needle nose pliers. Open the needle nose enough to now slide your regular fuel line into the opened up 3mm section. Basically you have just doubled the thickness of the line around the fitting. This also increases the pressure with which it grabs the fittings.
With proper fuel line routing this will ensure that your fuel lines stay where you want them.
