Fuel delete mod
No fuel = good mpg yes? 
Had to take off work for school, so I figured I would relocated fuel lines in my free time.
Gonna need some bondo.... 
1/2 inch drill bit, and a little work with a dremel... no angle grinder needed... 
Tucks away nicely under the wheel well cover. I routed the EVAP line behind the intake, so rest assured my car is green.

Bad idea as it sits. You NEED rubber grommets around those holes.

The metal will slice through the hose and the lines. Maybe not too quickly, but it will. Get a grommet, and some black RTV to fill in between the lines to make a good plug.

Concerned about your safety? Sure.
Trying to avoid the ton of whiny posts about "OMG my fuel line ruptured I hate my car"? Sure.

It looks half-ass-ish, no doubt. I thought I saw kits to properly repair lines like that, maybe you can shorten them so they are not so, um, what’s the right term, amateurish? Yes, that will do.
Beware, if it catches fire there will be a motivational poster about you...

^^It's half-assed.
How are you protecting them so they don't get a hole rubbed in them?
