Here is a photo from the parts manual showing the 51-4 route. The factory steel tube is a fair distance away from the manifold and catches a considerable amount of airflow which should keep it relatively cool. It is also somewhat pressurized. I believe several have offered evidence that wrapping and rerouting that particular section does not really solve the problem and the vapor lock is more likely to be occurring in the low pressure side before the fuel pump. Once the fuel starts to gas and a "bubble" reaches the fuel pump, if it is large enough the pump loses suction and then the problem.
