I have my fuel running on the inside of the passenger rail, ~4" or less from the exhaust. Its liquid fuel under pressure, not vapor, so the exhaust heat isn't a threat. Your not going to boil fuel unless you set the damn line right on the exhaust. If you REALLY think that your getting overheated fuel, just put a fuel cooler on the firewall (I've yet to see anyone NEED to actually do that).
Heck, Honda guys still think pre-heating fuel is good (half joking, but check out some of the late 80's early 90's imports running fuel pre-heat....they like to blow up).

Thanks for the comments. I'm actually not really concerned about boiling fuel, it was actually more of a concern that IF something went wrong and the line became cut or punctured it could spray pressurized fuel on hot exhaust. Probably still not a concern since the line is wrapped in a stainless braided cover.
Any reason why you picked the passenger side over the driver side?
