Is your fuel pump in the engine bay, or at the back, under the guard, near the tank?
Pressurized fuel (where the pump is back near the tank) can tolerate engine bay heat far better than non pressurized fuel. 
As long as the pump isn’t heated, (next to e.g. the exhaust) it’s good. 
And as long as the fuel is pressurized in the fuel line, it’s fine as well. 
The problem is when you put the fuel pump in the engine bay, and that means the fuel in the line before the pump isn’t pressurized, and the pump is trying to cope with engine bay temps.. 
and guess what!!!!
Bazinga!!
