Can't you modify that long fuel rail to have the fuel regulator output come out top or to the side?

Will measure the air temp there next time I run with cowling. Do not believe it gets very hot there and while you are running there is lots of fuel flow in the pipe and airflow off the radiator. When I go to hot start and run the pumps a short time, lots of cool tank flow comes thru there.

Yep they are still there, but have a heat shield between the exhaust and the line. Will measure the air temp there next time I run with cowling.
