I know at least one person who put in a reducer and used smaller
sized duct going by the valve, or it wouldn't have fit very
well.
Myself though, I used the Andair valve with a handle extension.
This keeps the fuel lines down lower, away from that hot
(yes, it gets pretty hot) SCAT tube, and gives more room for
it to pass between the valve handle extension and the tunnel wall,
also keeping it more clear from those screws, nutplates, and
rudder cables.

I just struggled with the same issue recently and was unable to come up wit
h an elegant solution.- Unfortunately this is just a case where Van's des
ign department took a shortcut to the detriment of us all.- In the end, I
ran the tube under the valve support, next to the valve.- This worked wi
th a little flattening of the scat tube.- Use plenty of RTV to cushion th
e tube from the surrounding metal components.- I'm hopeful that there is
enough space between the scat and valve that heat will not be a problem.-
After trying several sample pieces, I was unable to get the scat over the
top without puncturing the tubing in some way.- Would love to hear if oth
ers have developed a better solution using Van's valve setup.

The plans in section 50 say to deform the Scat tube where it passes over th
e
fuel selector valve. I am having difficulty deforming my scat tube enough t
o put
the front section of the cover on the tunnel. Also the screws from the fast
eners
will perforate the scat tube. Has anyone used a splitter or run the tube be
low
the valve between the fuel lines and the valve?
I imagine that Vans has a reason for doing it this way (on top) but I canno
t
for the life of me figure out why.

I ran mine across the top just like Van said. The scat tube is a little
crimped with the tunnel top installed, but I get plenty of air to the rear
outlets....

I managed to force mine into place per the plans but wasn't real impressed
with it. When I upgraded to the Andair fuel valve I rerouted the hose to
below the valve. Tim made some good comments about keeping the heat away
from the fuel lines, but the hose fits much better now and I haven't had any
issues.
Marcus.
