I'm confounded on a best practice for routing the fuel line from the servo to the spider on my FM-200/RV-10.
In my case, the line exits the aft side of the servo, wraps up around the right side of the sump, then through a grommet on the inter-cylinder baffle between #3 & #5, then to the spider.
The geometry where it goes through the inter-cylinder baffle creates a significant bend in the line to clear the oil sump flange. The geometry also pushes the line up against (or very near) one of the sump bolts. I worry about vibration/abrasion of the fuel hose there. I'd love to use an adel clamp on the sump bolt to secure the line, but the geometry doesn't work for an adel clamp.
Any experience here? Here's a picture if it helps:
