Crap I just went through my files and I cant find the test we did for this. Its been years but I should have it somewhere.
But I have everything to do the test again except a tank and I can even film it this time around. Youtube didn't exist back when we did the test before.
I have my sons old pump from his Chrysler sebring so I can use it to run the test with. I will post the info when it warms up a bit and I can do it. We proved back in the day the effects of pump cooling by testing the following.
1. Submerged or not.
2. Submerged in small trough or canister vs outside fuel present or not.
3. Gallons of gas volume increased in test tank 1 gallon at time (that one took daays of tinkering to get the fuel back to the ambient temp each time)
Temps were measure for gas itself, the pump itself, gas in canister surrounding the pump, and also direct measurements of the canister housing and sending unit (pump holder).
Was fun testing last time so should be fun to do again.
I'll post up the results when I get them done. Was surprising last time so Im hoping it works out that way this time too.
The only difference this time around is I will have to come up with a tank to do the test with. We cut the top out of a trucks plastic gas tank for the test last time.
