A couple of things Slick,

It's not a fuel arrestor but rather a backfire flame arrestor. Get enough fuel in there and out it will come.

About the limited access where the OPSS is normally located, nothing says it HAS to go there. It can be installed at the same location as the oil pressure gauge sender. If considering this be aware of added weight on the lengthy and small pipe nipple. I made an oil pressure manifold out of 1/8" NPT Tees for the gauge sender, fuel pump OPSS and alarm sensor all fed from the oil port behind the flywheel. Due to weight concerns I mounted the sender array on a nearby bulkhead and connected it with 300 psi hose.

It should resolve your access problems.
