[Diy_efi] schematic critique

if i am understanding you correctly, you are mentioning to run it around the 
back of diff, from one side to the other, to basically keep the same height 
as going through the driveshaft, but going around the back of the diff 
instead?

the problem with the orange line is described in the diagram, but that 
positions both the aluminum thread to barb fittings and the line under the 
driveshaft, and lower than the frame rails of the car, which would make it 
extremely susceptible to being ripped off by speed bumps and road debris.
