LOL, actually no it must be outside. Actually the hose at 1'in ID is said to have problems, and the pump itself would be too huge for this project in mind. The 3/4 ID limits us to the amount of power we are able to achieve. We have goals in mind, how much we will meet them will be dependant on what gets the job done. The goals are such as: speed, noise level, power, compact, weight, etc.
The tubing collapsing has not been an issue, knock on wood. We have been using Teflon with an assortment of ID and OD for testing, so far they have all held up to par.
In the final product of this design it will have to suck/purge which still puts us in another boat of its self. So we aim at one goal before the end picture.
BTW: As a side note nice bike. I have a sports bike; in the future I should have me a cruiser. More of a fatboy / pitbull guy.
