I assumed it was for mechanical protection and put it back on - seems to be
normal sleeving
like the wiring has. You would expect a long length like that to rest on the
case.  I expect the pulses felt in a fuel line would produce a bit of
vibration, like water hammer in pipes.  It would incidentally reduce heating
a bit too - we'll probably never know the full answer to this one though.
