I would do my best to avoid the spar caps for something that can be bent out of the way so easily as a fuel line. Compromising the spar caps is not something to be done lightly. Most folks would put that through the webbing, rather than the caps, and also avoid the uprights inside. And after going through the web, I wouldn't worry about immobilizing it with a fitting or RTV. It'll be fastened in other ways anyway. Although they have their place, I'd view the bulkhead fitting as another expense, more weight, and two more failure points...
