Default Easiest way to get to fuel line

Ok this has been baffling me for days. Im almost done installing my nitrous kit and the main thing that has got me troubled is how to actually get a blade close enough to the fuel line to tap it. The line is under the intake manifold and behind the radiotor hose. It looks DEEP in the engine bay and I was wondering if anybody else who has done this may have done it from underneath a car? I wouldnt mind going to a shop with lifts to tap this thing but I wanna do it right the first time. Im worried that I wont be able to re-tighten the hose correctly because I dont have enough room to hold the hose in place and tighten the clamps, but I doubt Im gonna tighten anything until I can actually slice the line and put the T inside. Any advice would be appreciated

Have you considered tapping the fuel rail?

Thanks alot for this dude! I did search a little but wasnt sure on how I would go about actually tapping the fuel line. I guess I'll lift her up and get down and durty I just looked through the summit catalog and saw that they sell these T's in a -4 size. Is that the same as the D4 size which my NX fuel tap is? Patatoes Patatoes Also what are those fittings attached to the T's called? I guess Im gonna have to order this from summit and if they cant get it here qwik enough Im gonna have to drive down to the main store Also nobody mentioned the bigger fuel tap on any of the threads I searched so this thread was very useful to me
