My return line runs along the co-pilot's side of the center console. It
come straight down from the firewall from a 90 degree bulkhead fitting. It
goes straight to the floor and enters the theigh support and goes under the
seat where the return flowscan is mounted then goes back to the tank. The
line is securely attached at all positions and is flush to the corner
interface of the floor and console side. There is 9 hours on the aircraft
now. I probably could make a fiberglass fairing to cover it over but it is
fairly un-obtrusive as positioned now.
