What is " corrugated  wire wrapper" - 
That plastic stuff that comes in different colors to cover and hold bundles
of wires ? 
Interesting idea.  
I wonder if there is any heat transfer requirements or intention  for the
fuel hose covering , as in preventing engine heat getting to the fuel hoses
and fuel, or is it just chaffing protection ?

Hi Jerry,

  FWIW when I redid my lines I used corrugated  wire wrapper.   Then I taped
it up really good with some high temp electrical tape to seal the split in
the tubing.  It was only around 6 bucks and so far I have been successful
with it this way for 3 years.  Plus I think it ads a really nice look to the
engine bay.
