As my RV-10 has Quick Built wings, the tanks were already built and sealed. I installed a 90 degree bulkhead fitting thru the rear wall just below the fill cap (because I could reach there to install the nut on the inside). Ran the line thru the six mounting plates on the rear of the tank between the tank rear wall and the spar, terminating in a straight bulkhead connector in the innermost plate.
    Figured I can mix the oil by running the pump a bit, or flush water thru that configuration. It's only time plus about $30 in extra parts.
