Rear Engine wants to Die!

[Walter Atkinson]

SkyKing:

**Oh... and think about this: If Cessna's R&D team really thought there was a 'problem' with the engine driven fuel pump getting warm, erghhh, I mean 'HOT'... HEY... they wouldn't have put it on the damned engine!!! Yep, but there's always snake-oil to sell... think about it. **

First, I'm not selling anything.

Second, you might want to do what I've seen done and put a few thermocouples on an engine-driven fuel pump and record the temperatures in flight before makind any big statements. I doubt you (or Cessna) have ever done that. TCM did put a cooling shroud on it, so they must think there's a reaosn to cool it. There is no need to argue about something that has been measured.
