Are you sure your pump is still pumping? I had had a few electric fuel pumps and seen others that would over heat from pumping and quit, till it cools a little then pumps again till it heats up again.
Are you sure your fuel line keeps pulling fuel form the tank? I don't know what you have for a tank, or tank fuel setup. Inside tank sock filter pluged?
I would run all hard line, and only enough hose to hook connections. As long as the fuel line does not touch the block or exhaust it should not get vapor block.
With the conduit over the fuel once it does gets warm, it won't cool down either! I'd remove it.
