Also add a few more inches for future tank movement needs... just make sure they're all secure under the floor on the outside.

Looked but can't find one, but the drawer of them at the shop came from some where.

My car does not have a grommet or other device protecting where that line passes through the boot floor. I agree that it looks like an accident waiting to happen. However, I have replaced that fuel line a couple of times due to tank leaks (not hose leaks) and I never noticed any chafing or cuts in the hose.

Question is - should that line not have this kind of shape/kink and was there a grommet for this line to protect it from the entry point into body work? Any advice on how I can protect it better where it goes into boot floor? There is not much room left to say use a plastic spiral protector, etc. Its just enough room to pass this line freely into the boot floor with no pinching, etc.
(the other hole pictured is for the smaller tank vent line)
