The invention claimed is: 1. A combustion tool having a gas actuated magazine advance, comprising: a combustion chamber defined in part by a cylinder, a valve sleeve axially reciprocating relative to the cylinder and an upper surface of a piston; a pneumatically actuated magazine fastener advance mechanism; and an exhaust driven actuation feed tube having a first end configured for insertion into an opening in the cylinder in fluid communication with the combustion chamber and a second end connected to said magazine fastener advance mechanism. 2. The tool of claim 1 wherein said first end of said tube is connected to the combustion chamber above said upper surface of said piston. 3. The tool of claim 1 further including a housing and wherein said tube is located within said housing. 4. The tool of claim 1 wherein said first end of said tube is angled relative to a longitudinal tube axis. 5. The tool of claim 4 wherein said tube includes a sleeve portion axially adjacent said first end and configured for disposition between an exterior of the cylinder and an interior of the valve sleeve so that the valve sleeve freely reciprocates relative to the cylinder. 6. The tool of claim 5 further including an exhaust portion axially adjacent said sleeve portion and forming a general "C" shape around an exhaust valve of the tool. 7. The tool of claim 6 further including an actuation portion axially adjacent said exhaust portion and configured for fluid communication with the exhaust activated magazine fastener advance mechanism. 8. The tool of claim 7 wherein said actuation portion ends in a second end of said tube, at least one of said first and second ends being sealingly secured in said tool with a chemical adhesive. 9. The tool of claim 1 wherein said tube is disposed in said tool without the use of tools. 10. The tool of claim 1 wherein said tube is disposed in said tool free of at least one of nipple fittings, elbow fittings and threaded connectors. 11. The tool of claim 1 wherein said exhaust tube has a volume which is found in the approximate range of 0.25 to 1.05% of engine displacement. 12. A gas driven actuation tube for a combustion tool with a combustion chamber defined in part by a cylinder and a valve sleeve axially reciprocating relative to the cylinder, the combustion tool also provided with a pneumatically actuated magazine fastener advance mechanism, said tube comprising: a first end being angled relative to a longitudinal axis and configured for insertion into an opening in the cylinder in fluid communication with the combustion chamber; a sleeve portion axially adjacent said first end and configured for disposition between an exterior of the cylinder and an interior of the valve sleeve so that the valve sleeve freely reciprocates relative to the cylinder; an exhaust portion axially adjacent said sleeve portion and forming a general "C" shape around an exhaust valve of the tool; and an actuation portion axially adjacent said exhaust portion and configured for fluid communication with the magazine fastener advance mechanism. 13. The tube of claim 12 wherein said tube is configured so that at least said first end, said sleeve portion and said exhaust portion are located within the tool. 14. The tube of claim 13 wherein said actuation portion is configured to be substantially located within the tool. 15. The tube of claim 12 further including a chemical sealant for sealingly securing at least said first end to the cylinder. 16. The tube of claim 12 wherein said tube is configured for being disposed and secured into the tool without tools. 17. The tube of claim 12 wherein said tube is configured for being disposed and secured into the tool without nipples, elbows or threaded connectors. 18. The tube of claim 12 wherein said first end is disposed at an approximate 10째 angle relative to said sleeve portion. 19. The tube of claim 12 wherein said exhaust portion includes a main segment generally parallel with said sleeve portion and having two ends, each said end being radiused for providing a transition to said respective sleeve and actuation portions.
