All fuel lines will be under the cowl. Fuel tank sits very low in fuse and the pipe will go over the top clearance is no problem.

For the pipe support, I epoxied a 3/8 x 3/4 balsa stock, cut to height, just in front of the former seperating the radio and fuel tank compartments. inside the fuse.

A Du-Bro fueler valve will be mounted behind and down a bit from the needle valve. See where the arrow is pointing about there. I have to make a bracket and cut the cowl. I did not care to snake fuel lines the the thin cowl because vibrations and the sharp edges would cut through the fuel lines.

Not picture are the mounting tabs for the cowl. I had to move some since the was an interference problems with the Jett 60LX.

A small grommet will be installed in the hole for the needle valve.
