Hello Dan, I would suggest firesleeve on any fuel lines in the engine compartment. It is cheap insurance opposed to the alternative.

Hi Guys & Girls; I went to the airport today and prepped Ol' Blue for flight and triple checked everything. A OK this time and taxied toward the far end of the runway, wouldn't you know the wind was from the wrong end and it was hot. Well I didn't make it, it vapor locked before I could get there and I couldn t get it re-started. Might be a good thing though. It has a shielded fuel system with a cooling hose on the gas collator but not good enough apparently. So either I fly it in cooler weather or fix it right. I had an old English Ford that would do that in heavy, slow traffic but I carried a bottle of water in the car to pour on the fuel pump when it did it but of course I cannot do that with Ol' Blue. It has aluminum fuel lines that are completely un-covered so I think I need to start there and shield all of them some how kind of like you would your water pipes in your home. I can't use water pipe insulation but aluminum faced fiberglass wrap might work. Anybody have any suggestions as to what to use? I will not rush it.
