Re: [DML] Fuel Temperature.



While I can't say that fuel temperature is a problem
as far as vapor lock is concerned, I know that I have
experienced an extrememly noisy fuel pump when the
fuel gets hot.  

We all know that a fuel pump "hum" is not uncommon,
but when the fuel gets hot, my pump "shouts".  As soon
as I pull into a service station and fill up with cool
fuel, the noise goes away (for a while).  Most of the
time it takes about a half a tank before the noise
gets unbearable.  I've even had cars next to me at the
stoplight and they hear the noise over the fans!!

I do have the rubber "baffle" that is supposed to
direct the air downwards away from the tank.  

Recently I have seen rather compact fuel "coolers" in
hot rod and performance car magazines.  Has anyone
tried one of these?
