Can you mount some tubing clamps or cushion clamps to hold the lines back? I'd also recommend some reflective heat wrap around the fuel lines if they're that close. Can't be too careful on such a critical detail.

I have to drill into the frame member to secure it, which I don't know if I can get a drill in there. That is my ultimate solution.

A good air ratchet, (ideally) a magnetic socket and a tech screw or other self-tapping hardware.

Here's my idea......I get one of those 1 gang boxes used for BX cable....there's a part inside the box used to clamp down on the cable.

BX is pretty dam close to the fuel line size so it should be close.

Then I get my right angle drill, start a hole, and use a self tapping screw to hold it down.

I'll paint it black with high heat paint that I have laying around..... This way it will look right and match .
