Taliking about the hose connecting the gas cap to the tank. On my setup, I have a romote keyless entry that due to space concerns is going on the passenger side in that area along with a small fuse box. I started thinking about electrical fires and the potential for catastrophic failure in this area if the fuel hose was compromised by fire. So, I ended up wrapping the fuel line in high performance insulation good to 2000 degrees or so before combustion then wrapping that with metal tape to hold it into place. Was just curious if others do this sort of thing or if I'm really being paranoid. Thing is I've seen a replica consumed by flame so I don't think it's uncommon. My guess is electrical fires happen to probably 5 or 10 percent of the people. Although it us even money if it would happen in this area if it did, and maybe one chance in four or so it would be able to burn through the hose I was thinking that's still an unacceptable risk.
Note that the wiring is obviously not finished and I sure won't leave it looking anything like this. Just wanted to show the area I meant and what I did to protect things.
