Safe to zip tie Power Running board wires to Passenger side Fuel Lines?

[Fless]

My response was for your convoluted tubing (you couldn't see the picture in my mind??? ). I'm with @Joseph Garcia, but you could also add pieces of split loom over the fuel lines, then cable tie the looms together.

I may do that if they tell me not to attach them on the lines. This may be the stupidest question ever asked but do any of those fuel lines get hot? That's kind of my only concern. I'v been driving it the last few days and haven't had any problems so I might just be over thinking this.

Why would you have fuel lines on the passenger side of your truck?

I'm wondering if you're referring to the rear HVAC lines, and the heater ones do get pretty warm, approaching 200°. Still not hot enough to harm wiring, but could possibly soften a lower-quality zip-tie, or just weaken its plastic over time from the hot and cold cycles.

I like @Fless's idea, but with pieces of rubber hose (heater/coolant or fuel/oil hose) cut into ~1" pieces and split lengthwise to slip over the fuel line at the points where you wanna zip-tie it. I'd do this and never give it a second thought.

I just assumed they were fuel lines. I felt of them when I got home from work and they weren't hot so I assume that's what they are. I could be completely wrong.

That's not a bad idea.

Hey, I'm not the most familiar with the '15+ so I had to ask. This is GM we're talking about here.


Buuuuut, there's also the fact that you're kind of a retard, too.

I wouldn’t drill anything. You could use adhesive tye wrap standoffs, and lay a bead of pro seal around them for longevity.

lol that's fair. I'm just a hobbyist mechanic, so there's bound to be some stuff I'm not familiar with. Especially when there isn't much info online or in manuals that would otherwise give guidance. That's usually when I resort to you fine chaps.

I did call tho and they said It was fine.. but I may eventually do what others here have suggested, just for the peace of mind.

You can attach anything to a fuel line once…ONCE!! I agree with don’t do it.


Can you do it yes….Should you….NO!!

I would. Just leave them loose for some flex but tight enough to not be hanging too low
