Running stainless gas lines around air valves a bad idea?

I installed my accuair valves in between my frame rails on the passanger side. Would it be a bad idea to run the stainless gas lines around it? There is a lot of electrical in there...Should I move the valves or just run the gas lines down the drivers side?

YOur gas lines run around a lot of electrical stuff when they get up to the enging compartment, I don't really see it as a fire hazard. I would utilize both frame rails if for nothing else to make it easy should you ever have to service the gas lines or the air system some day.
I would imagine your gas lines are sort of install them and forget them, but you may work on the air stuff later. It would be nice if you weren't working around the gas lines when you do it.

I really want to run it down the passanger side. Just to keep them seperated and keep a cleaner look. It just worries me being around all that electrical. But you are right... there is more electrical and spark under the hood.

As long as all the wiring it right a fuse or relay would blow out before a short could start a fire.
