I did actually consider that. Is it wise to introduce another source of fire? (asked in a previous message)

The APU bleed duct does run through the opposite wheel well, but I believe part of the APU fuel line runs in the right hand wing gear well (ref AMM 28-24-04). I've never actually noticed it.

On APU shutdown, too, the APU has a tendency to dump a bit of fuel on the tarmac.
