The pipes are on the correct (passenger) side of the vehicle but the one
with the kick goes to the outside. The heater hoses should mostly follow
underneath and away from the shift rod.
That bracket can make a good wear point.  How about a pic of the hoses over
the top of the tank and how are the heater hoses going through the frame
member?

At the time of install, I was confused.

Maybe I'm "seeing" things backwards, but are the pipes on the wrong side of
the vehicle? In Bentley I see the pipe with bent end is on the passenger
side no?

Would there a difference in pipes where they pass over the gas tank?
If so maybe that's why the passenger side pipe is butting up against my gas
tank?
