If you have to cut the fuel line into sections to get it fitted, I'd strongly advise against joining with rubber hose. Use brass unions instead; since the quarters may be cramped, you don't have to use the flared type but can use compression gland fittings. I suggest this for two reasons, (1) rubber hose can and will deteriorate over time, and (2) the gas tank is a wonderful heat sink to keep the gas line cool and inserting rubber hose will break the heat transfer.
