It is also much easier to route the return through the trunking down the
side just below the door openings. The trunking stiffens the side nicely
too. It is important to be certain that the fuel line can't rub through any
of the electrical wiring and cause a short so if stainless braided teflon
hose is used it should be shielded in heat shrink tube or simialr.
