from the radiator. This was supposed to help the fuelpump operation, so that 
the fuelpump wouldn't develop a high noise during operation. Is there any 
truth in this??? >>

Yes, apparently the heat shield for the fuel pump has value. I installed one 
about thirteen years ago and have had no problems or noise from the fuel 
pump. The heatshield in question is a piece of rubber (like an inner tube) 
that you attach with screws to direct the warm air flowing out of the 
radiator down away from the gas tank.
