Packing around fuel lines.

[terravista]

Greetings
I have had to repair a leak in the petrol line near the fuel tank with a brass joiner and clamps, and it looks like a bit of packing around it to prevent further damage from bouncing around against sharpish chassis and body points would be in order.
I hacked the floor under the rear seat with tin snips and worked from the top rather than drop the fuel tank, and I would like to pack under the floor for when I beat it back down and replace the carpet and seat.
Does anyone have suggestions on suitable materials?
I may be paranoid, but I was thinking material that may build up static electricity would not be ideal.
I was thinking of something that would not hold moisture, and that opens up polyester etc, but does platicky materials generate static electricity rubbing against metal and plastic/rubberised fuel lines, or is it just from rubbing against skin?

The fuel line should be well away from your floor .  May be better to re-route it and clamp it so it's not rubbing on anything.

As long as your sure the leak is fixed, you could get some hose split lengthways and put it over your joint and cable tie it to your fuel line at each end.  3/4 inch heater hose or whatever you got laying around will do.
No worries about static in that situation.

But make sure you fuel leak is fixed properly before you cover it up and put your floor back where it belongs.

Thanks JGM
I split some hose and tied it around the fuel line, and packed everything back in a tight space. All tied off with cable ties, and tape sealed the floor.
All looks and sound good.
