which way to plug the ves valves

[TriumphoverU]

I did a quick search and did not find what I was looking for, so bear with me if this has been discussed before. Being an engineer I must always figure out why something is being done a certain way.

I see that most people who are capping off the ves are doing it by capping them individually. Why are we not just simply running one hose between the 2 valves. This way would seem the best to me because the valves would open at the same rate and time, thus working together. I would think synchronized valves working together would yeild better gains than if the valves opened at different rates.

I would like everyones ideas, opinions, and scientific data to back up their claims if there is any available.

I have had mine plugged both ways at some point, no difference.
The only time I think that the balancing effect would come into play is if you had a leaking bellows... but then you would have issues at this point weather it balances or not.

Thanks fellas I appreciate the input. I'm just going to get me a chunk of 1/4" fuel line and connect the two valves.

if they are connected and one bellows leaks your sled will barely run at all. If they are plugged individually and one bellows is bad you might have a better chance of limping the sled home.
