And not only our lovely fan belt is a concern but so is the higher under hood temperatures. My advice to anyone using rubber fuel lines under the hood of a Corvair is to carry a fire extinguisher and lots of insurance. Just my opinion based on facts.

It would be very possible for a departing fan belt to destroy a rubber fuel line. Once that fuel line is open, it's not too difficult to imagine bad things that can happen then. You can get prebent steel lines Clarks or other vendors, but it's not too tough to bend you own.
