HI Joe,
Don't use automotive fittings in your airplane. 3/8 aluminum tube is a
better way of getting your fuel system plumbed.
Check out Aircraft Spruce and get a set of Bingelis books that will steer
you to the best alternatives in fuel systems.
Shutoff valves should be ball valve, because the typical tapered brass valve
will gall and seep fuel eventually. I used up two before
changing to the ball valve. The images below show how I got thru the
firewall.

Good luck,
