Smart idea!
I put all fuel related stuff (pumps, filters, valves, flow sensors) in a
sealed box, with a hatch to the underside of the plane. From there I can
access the gascolator, and if there develops a leak in the dozen or so
T's and other connections, it will leak out via the hatch. I won't even
have a fuel smell inside the cockpit.
But still, I like your idea to have a few "melt holes" at strategic
places. It seems the tank can leak too! So, now I have found a use for
my scrap blue foam.
