Default Tamjets A4 Tank issue

I am slowly building a Tam A4 skyhawk and have an issue with the fuel tanks.

For those not familiar with the tank layout in this jet, it comprises of two saddle tanks, a main tank fitted flat on the belly of the fuselage in front of the turbine and a UAT. The saddle tanks and main tank have been drilled by the munufacturer to have the tank fittings on one side of the fuel tank as opposed to the middle. The problem is that the clunk at that position will have to face to the extreme bottom of the opposite side of the tank and will not move when inverted as its too long. If i make it shorter it will only draw fuel to about half the capacity of the tank.

The same issue with the main tank, only the problem with this is that it will not draw fuel when the aircraft is banking.

Look at the pictures below (of the details4scale fuel tanks which are the same design as the factory ones).

Any advise welcome as to how I should make the fittings work.
