Thanks for the ideas da Rock.
Is there anyway I can just put some kind of glue around the fuel tubes to help hold them?
This is my second trainer plane. My first one bit the dust after I got in a little trouble with it and it didn't have enough power to pull me out of it. This is also the setup my instructor had on his plane and it worked great. Unfortunately, he lives 500 miles away and is difficult to get a hold of.
Thanks!
Don't use glue or caulk! Eventuall you'll have to replace the lines and then you'll have a problem ever getting a good seal again.
Take a nail set or centerpunch and flare the ends of the metal tubing slightly. This really helps prevent the fuel hose from slipping off. You can slip on small cable ties to further hold it, but it really isn't necessary.
