[Tigers] Heat Soaking the Fuel Pump

[Larry Mayfield]

Ok, has anyone actually stuck a thermocouple on the fuel pump in a location
which would provide the greatest heat transfer and has data to determine if
all of this is some idea of preventive action?  A   thermocouple glued to
the bottom of the fuel pump is simple to do and the electronics are fairly
cheap.  I have the electronics and will get and make a thermocouple if one
of you folk will attach it to the fuel pump and then take data: start the
car, let it come to temp and take data every minute or so, drive the car
around town for a while and take data every minute, pull up and stop after
the car is fully hot and idle for a simulated long traffic light taking data
every minute or so, then shut the motor off and  take data until reasonably
cool. Do it in a location that has hot weather.  And with no heat shield in
place the whole time.  

Anybody game?
