Built from glass-fiber-backed aluminum, the included manifold heat shield, fuel rail cover and six injector jackets reflect radiant heat away from the fuel system. The package also supplies 12 OE replacement O-rings and clear instructions so you can install durable thermal protection in a single afternoon with basic hand tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this kit reduce vapor lock risk?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit blocks radiant heat that raises fuel temperature near the rail and injectors, which helps keep fuel stable under high-load or high-ambient conditions. By lowering component temperatures you reduce the chance that fuel will vaporize before it reaches the combustion chamber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReflective aluminum skin rejects radiant heat away from the fuel rail and injectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGlass-fiber backing adds insulation to slow heat transfer by conduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManifold shield isolates the manifold’s radiant heat source from the fuel system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat parts are included and how do they fit my Jeep?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit contains a manifold heat shield, a molded fuel rail cover, six snug-fitting injector covers and 12 OE-style replacement O-rings.
