     I am trying to decide if a small header tank (say 1/2 gal capacity)
     will cause a significant rise in fuel temps for an EFI engine.  Since
     the fuel pump will deliver apprx. 40 gallons per hour and the engine
     will be burning apprx 8 or 9 gallons per hour, the refresh rate of
     fuel from the main tanks is about 20%.  This means that 80% of the
     fuel has been thru the EFI fuel manifold up to 4 times.  Do these
     numbers look reasonable?  Since the manifold is hot, the fuel will be
     heated on each pass.  Is this a potential problem or maybe only a
     cause of a small lose of power due to a lower fuel density.

     Thanks,
