Subject:Re: Was fuel leak? Now: appropriate route for fuel lines

I really like to see covering on fuel hoses,
likewaterboxer engines use.
   It's likely this expensive extra strong fuel hose will not get rubbed
though by those rubber-protected clamps ..
and it still looks like a bit of weight/pressure on that one spot on
each hose to me.

I just 'feel better' with a protective cover over fuel hoses  myself.
