do yo mean the fuel inlet? if so you need to block off the current inlet hole, and drill the other side to the same size hole, then tap to fit the inlet tube. Or leave it like I did cause I didn't feel it worth the trouble.

You should not use copper for the fuel lines , use only steel lines . Copper tubing will crack at the flared ends and also conduct heat very well .
