Thanks, but wouldn't it be simpler and safer to have the electric pump
in the engine bay along with an electrically operated shutoff valve?
They could be wired such that the shutoff switch would also disable the
pump and the ignition. Surely there's a corner where those things could
be located. I'm sure the designers had their reasons...

I'm trying to visualize where the fuel tank is that requires routing

bay is aft of the wing, isn't it? Where's the fuel carried?
The electric fuel pump is seated under the seat pan, so the fuel gets routed there, and then through the shut-off underneath the wing spar connection on to the engine. The fuel tank is underneath the wing spar connection.

Now why exactly this pump is located under my left leg, I have strictly no idea. Maybe the intention is to have it at a relatively low spot with regard to the tank, and in this case there are no other spots left.
