[DML] Fuel filter/line questions

["stainlessilusion" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

I was looking at the fuel filter I replaced today and noticed that 
inside the inlet, the plastic was melted and bowed in. What could 
cause such high temperature that the pastic would actually melt? 
There's no extreme heat source near the filter, just a coolant pipe 
which doesn't touch. Also, the fuel return line runs through the fuel 
pump boot to a steel "L" shaped line, and then to a rubber line that's 
directed into the baffle and clipped into place so it will flow to the 
pick-up hose... Is this done for a reason? Or can I lose the rubber 
line/clip? -----Dani B. #5003
