Okay -- Now I'm really confused!

I thought the whole purpose of having a bypass regulator was that the fuel was returning to the tank "continuously" -- keeping the pump running fuel - thus cooling it - and the large tank (in my case - 25 gallons) helping to act like a heat sink and cool the fuel.

I'm running the Aeromotive 1000 - externally - with an Aeromotive by-pass regulator.... I do not run a pump controller... it's just run by the Accel Gen 7... Fuel pump lead to a relay...

Are you saying that my fuel is getting "smoking hot" by the time it returns to the tank - and that I could have an overheating fuel pump??
