fuel pipe routeing

Just wondering if anyone has any engine bay pictures of the fuel pipe routeing for a twin carb setup.

Fuel tank oitlet is beloe the tsnk in the gearbox area the line on mine goes through fuel filter, cut off solenoid, through engine bay metal below tank with grommet to nlet side of my mechanical fuel pump.
If you have electrical fuel pump then through fuel pressure regulator. Then the outlet branching to each carburettor. Depends on what carburettor set up you fit and how it is set up!

Weber 34 ict, At the moment it comes from the tank, through the bulkhead, p clipped to the top left of the engine bay,through an in line filter, down to the pump, from the pump back up to a T piece, then along the top of the engine bay, then down to the carb's.

Sounds correct..
I always prefer filters outside the engine bay..

It works Ok, It just looks a bit untidy, just wondered if there was a neater way of doing it as I currently have the engine out and am replacing all the fuel lines, I probably will put the new filter between the tank and bulkhead.

Put the T between the carbs and take the cross hose behind the engine supported on the fan housing.

w1ggo if you're still running that fuel hose I'd strongly recommend you checking it very carefully. Its the worst brand I've ever seen for cracking / perishing, sometimes within a year of fitting it. Its pure junk.

Anything with a brand name. That stuff is almost like fake R9 as it just doesn't last.

I like the idea of running behind the fan housing, couple of points though, I am a bit concerned about the comments on the quality of the hose, as it is the same as I have.
Is that a cut off solenoid after the tank?
I wish the under side of my bus looked as clean as that!

Use it for mock up only. Then throw it away.
