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??
where is the regulator?
