S4R Fuel Line Touching Exhaust

[Derekv]

Had a close call.  The fuel line from the tank to the fuel pressure regulator was in contact with the exhaust.  It melted the outer layer, the cords, and was working on the inner layer when I caught it.  It was seeping fuel and if I bent it, a steady stream of fuel shot out onto the exhaust.  This could very easily resulted in a fire that burned my S4R to the ground.

All fixed now.

Any pics of how that line was routed?

Definitely didn't come that way from the factory.

I figure the PO replaced the hoses and it was routed down next to the exhaust, just under the aft part of the tank.  No pics of the routing, I did take one of the melted hose though.  New hose is routed so that it won't happen again.
