Default Distance from pump/sols to engine?

Hi Guys. I'm scratch building a jet and do not to add any unnecessary noseweight. To help this I want to put the 2 solenoids & fuel pump as far forward as possible behind the noseleg retract. This will mean the pump will be about 24 inches forward of the engine and the solenoids another 6 inches in front of that. The two fuel tanks & the air trap will be just in front of the engine over the CG. Is there a practical limit of how far the pump & solenoids can be from the tank & engine? - John.
