Default Fueling options on Great Planes Skybolt 60

Getting back into fixed wing glow after a 18 year hiatus, and am building an old Great Planes Super Skybolt 60 kit. I’m running a Hayes 13oz tank, and either an OS .91 Surpass II, or OS FS-1.10a. I also have a Slimline Pitts in cowl muffler for the setup. My idea is to keep this a clean setup all around

Reaching out for opinions and help on setting up fueling on my model. The Hayes 13oz tank doesn’t allow for a true 3 line setup, and thus I’ve been looking at other fueling options:

-DuBro Kwik Fill: heard too many bad things about leaking valves: etc: https://www.dubro.com/products/kwik-fill-fueling-valve
-DuBro E/Z filler: not sure about this one – but doesn’t’ seem popular: https://www.dubro.com/products/e-z-fill-fueling-valve
-Fuel Dot: Seems popular but my tank isn’t set up for a dedicated ‘3rd line’: https://www.dubro.com/products/fill-it-fuel-system
-Slimline Excel Fueler: The best option I’ve found so far but don’t see many folks using them: Excel Fueler System - Slimline Excel Products
-Robart Super Fueler: https://robart.com/collections/fuel-...s/super-fueler
-‘T’-connector: I ran across this thread, and it looks simple, effective, and cheap, I just worry about forcing fuel into the carb: https://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/...ad.php?t=79914

Any other ideas or wisdom would be much appreciated as I am at a stopping point with the build until I work out the fueling issue. and know where to drill the firewall

Thanks to all!
