[Fot] Auxiliary Oil Line Size

[Ashley Page]

Don't know a lot about engine oil systems but question why the accusump lines need to be any larger than the oil passages in the engine? Why wouldn't a -4 or -6 be plenty large enough? 
If the canister is in the trunk with the fuel cell then larger (-8 or -10) could be run to the firewall and the smaller lines from the firewall to the engine - smaller = more flexible and easier to route and also lighter and less expensive. 
Just throwing out the question.
