I'm obviously not as dextrous as Steve!  (The driver's side is a doddle with no obstructions.)
So on to plan B; inserting the whole thing upwards from below. I was more successful pushing than pulling and the rubber is thick and unyielding but I did get it located nicely in the lower skin. It was then just a case of teasing the top flange over the upper hole in the plenum and to pour a beer.

I think that Steve's recommendation to cut 20mm off the bottom of the tube is a good one because without it the end is pushed closed by the fuel lines bearing upon it. This is probably why it's always the NS which floods and not the OS.
