I had some cats welded onto my XS y-pipe and the driver side cat sits just under the fuel lines too. I had some heat wrap laying around that's used for protecting the O2 wires after a LT install. I wrapped the fuel lines with it and zipped tied it in place. It's been about 1,500 to 2,000 miles so far in thick traffic (Washington, DC area) on some pretty hot days. So far, so good...

No problem.
Fuel hard line is rated to very extreme temperatures.
The only time you would have to worry is in a carbureted car, being under low fuel pressure, you can have vapor lock due to bubbles developing in the fuel.
