Taken from 2019 General Regulations on NHRARACER.com

"All fuel tanks, lines, pumps, valves, etc. must be outside of the driver’s compartment and within the confines of the frame and/or steel body."

Written this way because of the many various ways manufacturers and chassis builders configure their cars.

You can put the fuel lines on the outside of the frame rails for a Nova, they will still be with-in the confines of the steel body. If you had a car with a perimeter frame such as a g-body or chevelle, they would need to be on the inside of the frame.

Thanks Tom, I wondered about the "steel body" terminology and thought that technically speaking I'm good. Like I said before, I think I'm much safer having it outside the frame and tucked up near the floor board which is steel too.

Many years ago, Cecil County had me change mine 3 weeks in a row. I painted it black and they never said anything again.

This was a long time ago. I had it run on the inside of the frame rail and the tech guy said it couldn't be there. So I moved it to the outside of the frame and said it couldn't be there either. I moved it back to the inside and painted it black.
