Jerry, it’s been a while since we talked about your hot fuel pump. I’m transferring fuel right now, so far a 20 minute run time with the electric pump at full flow (1 gal @ 3 minutes) and the pump is cool to the touch. With the engine running and the pump pushing against a closed float valve (flow rate = 1 gal @ 60 minutes) the pump is much warmer. I’m sorry I don’t have my IR temp gun handy to measure. It’s clear that flow rate makes a significant difference.
