First of all a big thanks for all the advice, especially Chippy.

Haven't had a problem riding like it is, but I don't like the look of it sitting there all squashed up, I think I will try to move it.

The petrol lines certainly ran along the cylinder head nuts as you described. With my bike they aren't squashed and will move slightly given that there is very little play. You cannot get the left hand line (looking rear to front of bike) further past these nuts as it will foul on the spark plug cap see (A) below.

The yellow dotted lines indicate the fuel line routes before the tank was removed.
