Having teflon line buried in the frame may cause the same problem. I'd rather have the line under the body so any leaks will fall to the ground, not collect in the frame.

Granted, my condition is peculiar, but it happened.
What exactly was the cause of your issue? My fuel line is mostly under the body, attached to the frame with rubber-padded clamps. It only passes through the frame for about 2" above the rear suspension.

Separately, this hose is rated for use in -100 degree F to + 450 degree F conditions. That should be adequate, but I may still insulate it where it passes relatively close to the headers (but not too close). Thoughts?
