Just don't forget that AL tubing will corrode. If you're in a high humidity area, or the plane sits outside, anything around the tubes that can't breath can trap moisture next to the tubing.

Just a thought...

Default Super Soundproofing foam - Top and bottom in Tunnel

Think about it. This is where using Super Soundproofing foam would actually shine. The tunnel cover is easily removed and would expose the fuel and brake lines for easy inspection. Covering them with tubing, fire sleeve or the foam Van's recommends, makes inspection of the fuel and brake lines more difficult. Similarly, encasing them with Great Stuff makes a section of the tubing "un-inspectable."
