Not stock routing.  In any event, the fuel line should be away from any exhaust
manifolds/pipes, any hot surfaces, and that would include the hoses.

As your message was cropped here, I can only assume you were going to ask "Why 
two
sets of holes?"  The answer is the inner set are for Alpine radiators, and the
