[Tigers] Heat Soaking the Fuel Pump

[Tony Lang]

In my mind the OEM exhaust and especially the mufflers never affected any
Tiger Ive owned but since joining this site, I hear of ppl having problems- in
my mind its the larger mufflers BUT a heat shield should have been stock. POOR
Rootes!!

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?
