Simon,

I used aluminum fuel line and routed it through the tunnel and up in between the
mounting frame and fuselage/firewall.  This approach does not require 
penetrating
the firewall.  I secured the aluminum line to the face of the firewall and
then transitioned to standard rubber fuel line to connect to the engine.  The
above did require a notch in the stainless steel firewall panel to accommodate
the fuel lines. I simply filled the gap with silicone.

What is the best way to route the fuel supply and return hoses through the
firewall? I have a 912S engine. To me, some type of  bulkhead union for the
Europa supplied hoses would be the best way but I can't find any suitable
fittings. How have others done this?

Best regards,
