Oops, foot stuck in mouth again! I did ignore that we have to have one rubber link, the hose between the fuel pump and the line to the tank so I suppose more of the same back by the tank doesn't make a difference - sorry about that oversight. But the point remains that anything in the fuel system that inhibits transfer of heat from hotter bodies to cooler bodies is certainly not desired. And visa versa.

If insulators between fuel pumps and the block, between the carburetor and mainfold, between fuel pump bolts and the pump body, and heat shields were all considered essential with the "good old gas", they are even more necessary today. And though I have no firm evidence, I can't think that a rubber section between the fuel pump and the carburetor is a good idea.
