Key-wrecked.... (i.e. correct).

I invert it when moving the carbs back to remove the head, etc... 
normally it loops down under the carbs.

I once had a TR3A with no ground strap to the engine block -- that metal 
fuel line passed very close to the inner wing (about an eighth inch of 
clearance).  Noticed one day when cranking the engine with the solenoid 
button what a nice bright spark was jumping that gap.  Yikes!
