I did not want to run it all the way up front like the LongEZ. The fuel selector valve is downhill from the main tanks, and then the sump is downhill from the fuel selector valve... (Also convenient to the reach of any back seat drivers). This way I was able to keep the fuel lines short and keep everything continually running downhill from the main tanks all the way to the EFI pumps.
