In both of the 300Ds which I have converted, I tied the new fuel line and in one case the coolant lines, bundled with the fule lines and insulated with pipe insulation, to the metal fuel lines under the car, using nylon cable ties. My only concern was where the fuel lines pass between the rear subframe and the suspension. Photos of this part of the conversion:

I believe that it may be possible to run the hoses inside the cabin from the bonnet hinge area, under the carpet and seats to the boot, buit you would need to protect the hoses from abrasion where they pass thru the bulkheads.
