There's a kit out there with longer SS lines, that re-routes the fuel lines around the exhaust manifold. I don't know if heat wrap would work, it only takes contact with a single hot bit to cause combustion. You SHOULD check it out though, Jeff's car is not the first to go up in flames. I saw it happen several times on RL during my 951 days. I replaced my lines with new rubber ones, because I was too poor for the nice SS kit.
