Out of the bottom of each header tank, a fuel line runs forward to the Andair fuel selector valve. I am running the aluminum hard line under the floor and the braided stainless above the floor. The braided stainless lines allow a bit of flex in the lines for vibration whereas the aluminum hard line is pretty fixed however, they are mounted using rubber Adel clamps.

A return line runs from the fuel pump (located in the front of the fuselage) back under the floor to the top of each header tank. This single aluminum hard line runs from the fuel pump back to a Y fitting under the cargo floor that splits off and runs to each header tank. These lines pass each other where they exit the floor near the header tanks and I have aluminum clamps on them to secure them and keep them separated.
