[QUOTE="JeremyH, post: 14525256, member: 160292"] I was quite surprised to see that they were that cool to the touch myself, I have never noticed them that cool ever. It was a hot summer day at a track rental at MIR and had just made a few quarter mile passes. I popped the hood to let it cool and sit like I normally do and that's when I noticed the rails were warm to the touch an not boiling hot like I'm used to. Normally every thing is pretty steamy in general under there after a few passes. Prior to the track runs I drove 2 hours there. I had around 1/8 to 1/4 tank left. I don't have any vapor lock issues and run a low (40psi) base pressure. Most recommend a higher base pressure than that in warmer climates to prevent heating of the fuel in the rails causing hard to start conditions. Since I first noticed it I now check the rails from time to time and its never been too hot to touch since I started running e85. I really want to do some temp testing again this summer now with pump and e85! I would like to measure feed line temp, fuel filter body, rail temp, regulator body and return line. And do this test on both fuels on the same day after running the car for the same amount of time with the motor still running. My setup runs a smaller 320 pump as the always on primary pump, it draws 8-9amps and I have 6 gauge power and ground wires going to the controller and 10gauge power/ground going to each pump. My second 465 pump is on a hobbs switch trigger and only comes on when I'm in boost. [/QUOTE]
