It really needs to be mounted somewhere on the firewall with the face of the valve flush with the cowl. Cut a round hole in the cowl to allow the fuel nozzle to be inserted. Yes, you also empty the tank thru the valve. Pump a small amount of fuel thru it before installing to see which fitting goes where. The side that fuel comes out of with the nozzle inserted obviously goes to the tank.

I used part of a sink stopper linkage rod to mount my fueling valve.I bent the rod into a L shape then bolted the rod to the firewall, and drilled out one of the holes on the linkage to fit the refueling valve. It fits flush with the inside of the cowling.All that was needed at that point was to drill a hole in the cowl where the fuel valve lined up.It worked out great.
