Vapor Lock/Fuel Perc:Fuel Line "Re-Route"?

Dan, I appreciate your input, but I have actually done this before and it DOES work.

In this universe, wood and plastic do not conduct ("absorb") heat. They're both insulators, not conductors. If spacing the fuel pipe away from hot engine parts with clothespins works in any particular situation, groovy. But it's not because the clothespins are "absorbing" any heat. When what you think you are seeing is not possible, it's better to figure out what you're actually seeing than to argue that the laws of physics don't apply to your car.
