Good Question

It's about all engine comp. electric wires.

How can they all be shielded from causing a fire or protected from a fire.. fireproof fuel lines are only good for less than a few minutes in fire.
besides putting them into metal tubing..Huh ?

I bought my '73 at an insurance auction after it had an engine fire. Rubber fuel lines don't last forever. I think that fuel leaking on hot engine parts is a bigger concern than an electrical fire.

Wiring in a fire?
Considering electrical wiring is often the *source* of the fire, it's pretty hard to protect it.

You can try to find Raylon (?) -isolated wire used in aircrafts. It's made to withstand heat and crumble insted of burning.

There was a product used in armoured vehicles that looked like asbestos woven into something like a child's finger trap.
The stuff was amazing....stayed soft...did not shrink....and was easy to cut (with scissors).
It was off-white in colour and came in several sizes.
Can't help with the name.
It was rated for hours of protection.

that's why I'm entertaining electrical supply conduit.. I don't know. maybe I'm getting to much into overkill.. I definately want an onboard fire supression system...........Ron
