Question Fuel sender wiring route

Went to pre fit the left wing and was surprised (did not think). I ran the fuselage side fuel sender wire aft of the spar only to be reminded that the sender is forward of the spar on the wing side with no pass in the wing side of the spar. Read other posts about running fuel sender wiring with fuel supply line. This just seems wrong. I know the is no power in the wire but there has to be a better way. Any help is appreciated.

...run any electrical wire through the same hole as a fuel line. It is simply not good practice. Drill another hole along side of the fuel line and route the wire there.

Mel thanks. I will drill the additional small hole forward of the spar. I was just trying not to make anymore hole.
Thanks for the prompt reply.
