Default 3rd line for refueling IDEA

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">I am installing a Fuel Dot &amp; Switch on the side of my Big Stik 60 and have a question...

Adding a 3rd line for refueling in the nose of the fuel stopper requires that I then route the fuel line back through the fire wall to about the middle area of the fuselage where I am side mounting the dot &amp; switch. Looks to me like I could simply tap into the back of the fuel tank which would be much closer, simpler and cleaner. It would also reduce clutter around the already crowded engine compartment. The only concern, of course, is the tank possibly leaking at the tap.

Has anyone ever successfully added the 3rd refueling line in this manner?</span>
