Does anyone see any issues with this fuel fill hose and its proximity to the exhaust manifold. Its the same basic position as the old hose but I raised the lower portion to help drain better. The old hose dropped down to the floor, (you can still see the darker area) then had to make a small loop up and over to the tank fill. I raised the middle of the hose to keep a constant downhill drain action and to take some of the stress off the hose at the tank bushing, which caused a split with the original hose. The portion that runs closest to the exhaust is approx 1" air space between them.

My gut feeling is its fine, dont worry about it. But sometimes I miss something too.

Don't see an issue from my side. Not sure but I might have laid it on the deck to keep it out of the way. Under stand your running down hill point but the fuel will make it there, either way no issue

I see what you are saying about laying it on the deck I was just trying to keep it from trapping fuel and sitting in the hose where it loops up. The old hose only hit the deck directly beow where I have it tied down it didnt run all along the deck. I think its actauly more out of the way for getting to the plugs than before since it runs more beside the exhaust and doesnt drop down in front of the plugs. Yep there is a loop int the vent. Actually didnt change it just the fill hose
