Totally. I gambled and won. I have a belly pan. ( I really should do a closer inspection) But. The supply and return fuel lines are exposed. Albeit small portions. Figured a brake - swerve and dodge @ 60 mph posed a 50/50 chance of missing it. Kinda like grabbing at a football bouncing around. ;) Besides. It was windy too.
