 Thank you for the explanation. I was aware that the fuel helps cool the pump, but is there ever a point where the fuel pump has zero fuel cooling it? If not, I would think that while a smaller volume of fuel heats up quicker, a full tank could get to the same temperature eventually on a long trip. So it would make sense to me that it could be affected more by driving habits in conjunction with fuel filling habits than just fuel filling habits by themselves.Sorry for jacking the thread...
