This stuff was eliminated somewhere in the 90s. If you buy replacement rail covers now, you get ones with heavy foam molded in, although it does not insulate the underside. I've done the pipe insulation mod.

Nifty. I was wandering arounbd in Home Despot today and noticed they carried a foam panel insulation adhesive. That might save some detail work with zip ties.

Does anyone know what effect this insulation has on fuel temp? With/without? Fuel is constantly recirculated back to the fuel tank, right?
Also, isn't there a fuel line cooler/heater thingy at the firewall? What does that device do?
Would it be helpful to insulated the fuel rails on an '85?
Thanks
