Thanks for the quick replies. I just got home from work and will give it a try before the nights over. The reason for the 'excessive' length is that with the cowl on it's very hard to get access to the nipples on the eazy-feuler valve so I need to have enough length to leave the cowl partially off, attach it, then slide the cowl on. I could remove some length from the exhaust tubing but getting the tubing 'threaded' through the firewall while I was putting the tank in required this length and I hate to trim it knowing if I ever have to pull the tank I'll have to have another longer piece to do so. I'll let you know how it works later tonight.
