Default Heat Soak

I have been running an external A-1000 on my Pantera for over 10 years
I did have one crap out at the Reno Fernly track about 7 years back
and replaced it without issues... I street drive and track the car a lot
sometimes 100 plus miles on a weekend..plus a lot of cruising

I assume you have a return line and looks to be -10... with a regulator?
When I first put the same system on the Firebird the return line was a
-8 ... 3/8" line and I could not get the fuel pressure down... Aeromotive
said to up the size and then it was good

I am currently installing a new cell in that car with an Aeromotive A-1000
in tank pump... I talked to them about the controller listed in the instructions
They stated that it pumps so much that the fuel may get too hot as it
is being recycled too fast... mostly when you have a small amount in the tank
I am going to not do the controller as the system worked before just in tank
now... might not be your case.... if you have very little fuel in the tank
I bet it is recycling too fast and getting hot.. try filling it up and see what
happens otherwise you may in fact need their regulator

Ps... I have a filter before and after the pump as recommended by Aeromotive
