Yes, the fuel line runs from the left injectors, under that clamp and 
across the top of the engine to the right injectors. There's a piece of 
vinyl tubing that slides over the braided fuel line to protect it from 
breakdown by rubbing from engine vibration. You can see the normal 
ducting of the fuel line here... I don't have a pic of exactly that, but 
this gives you a better idea:

It does seem to bend rather sharply to get there, but no where near as 
tightly as I have it bent in the front end under the fuel tank near the 
fuel pump.
