The fuel pump is in the way of installing the tube. I've found it easiest to remove the fuel pump , install the tube then bend the tube just enough to clear the bolt ear on the pump.

Thats what I thought you were thinking, the engine is still on the stand, so the fuel pump isnt bolted on yet. Thanks for the heads up though!
