[Tigers] Heat Soaking the Fuel Pump

[Sandy Ganz]

You can get a plug in thermo couple from a few places that plug right into a
good multimeter with the temperature setting. My Fluke meter has a setting for
temp and you just use a probe without any adapters. I think I also have a
craftsman one with the same deal.

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?
