relocating battery, will cause electrical interference?

im relocating my battery to my rear compartments, and am planning on just running the wire through the main harness grommet, will these wires cause any interference with my ecu or anything?

Most DCV circuits do not induce RFI.
Are you going to do something crazy like wrap the ECU with the power wire???

If it was my car, I certainly wouldnt want high current DC wires zip tied to the fuel lines! Your starter can draw almost 100amps, and its not fused. What happens if it overloads and that wire melts and ignites the fuel lines?

I'll agree with that, you don't want battery lines running next to fuel lines.
