The short answer is : They didn't. The tank outlet was in the center, while the
exhaust was farther to the left.

If I understand this right, you've altered and downgraded the original design
(metal tubing to rubber, using tank drain for outlet) and now you're criticizing
the results of your changes. If you don't like your design, then by all means
change it ... but don't try to blame it on Triumph.
Besides, the tail pipe isn't all that hot that far back, and I've seen carbs
leaking fuel directly onto a red hot exhaust manifold. Scared me silly but
never caught fire.
