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.

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.
