Make sure you use "methylted spirits" (known on this side of the pond as denatured alcohol) rather than "mineral spirits" as I think I saw in an earlier posting. You will find the mineral spirits as

Hello, fellow Spitfans. I'm not satisfied with the route I chose for the fuel pipe. Out of the tank, and down through the floor of the boot is no problem. From there, I believe it should run parallel
