Having said that, the primary item you should look at.............to decrease fuel temperature in a fuel system, is to decrease the amount of fuel you're "driving" through the system.

Think about this for a minute since you've already listed the obvious restrictions within a given system. If your engine will only consume 50 gph of fuel, why are you killing the system with over 400...........you've got to do something with the excess, either within the pump (let's hope not, but some still use that style pump because a whole 'nother set of issues pop up there) or bypass back to a cell.

Just wandering myself. That's why I posted. Thanks
