Plastic tube melt possibility?

[heems]

There is a plastic clear tube that touches some rather hot points of the engine. I have attached a pic below. Do I need to be concerned about it melting at all? It seems to me, for the most part, the tubes and cables are all tucked neatly except this one...

Dave,
where did you pick up the ss sleeve for this line?

Is there a post on this already? If so, my apologies to all....:up:

Replace the old line with some cheap fish tank air line...
