I've been unable to find definitive information on that so far. So my design mimics the operation of an open loop system that is on our cars maintaining the fuel intake temps at the temp of the fuel in the tank.

I'm getting some interesting data off my instrumentation project that may be applicable. For example yesterday we went for a 100 mile run in the mountains and with an ambient temperature in the 70s the temp on my Arduino peaked at about 100, which is a good proxy for underhood temps at cruise.
