Just a quick thought that I just had, is there anything that you could coat
the exhaust pipes with to reduce the external heat? Or maybe some sort of tin
to separate the fuel lines from the pipes, almost like a belly pan under the
engine? Just curious if anyone's ever heard of this, done it, or has ideas on
the probability of success.
