Yes. I have used the rescue tape around scat tubing with tie wraps and wire bundles with tie wraps . I decided not to use it on the engine mount because the tie wraps are generally tighter there and might have more of a tendancy to cut into the tape (though I don't know). It sounds like guys have been using it with no problems. I do know the clear tubing so far has held up very well and is very tough. Dave

For the idea of a soft layer around the engine mount tube, just be sure that your material can withstand the heat. Likewise, if you're using a dab of silicone, use the high-temp kind.

I used some non-heat-resistant spiral wrap around some wires on a different plane, and the stuff melted. Unfortunately the melted and cooled material was difficult to remove.

The max heat usually occurs sometime after shut-down.

Default maybe-

for those that want to wrap tape around the mount---use Firesleeve tape. High temp, self adhesive, and with layers, should protect the mount and the hose.

There's three MS21919-series ideas within your photo...
I'm one of those people here on VAF that says the bare ziptie on your engine mount needs to go, too.
