My [plastic] airframe has about 15 seconds.  That said, I might use some to shield stuff close to the exhaust..  I'll not use SS since the regular braided oil/fuel lines are more than adequate structurally.  I've asked a couple of old grizzled A&Ps and the pretty much agreed that neither one has ever known one to fail. To me, it's pretty much a non-issue ... Jim S.

Aircraft Spruce sells firesleeving that is supposed to give 15 minutes direct flame resistance.

I have that stuff over my oil and coolant lines near the turbo.
