Interesting.... Hondas and my Z-car have the fuel pump immersed in the fuel for cooling... hadn't considered that one.
My Eillison requires a head of fuel pressure to operate, so the pumps are required to be on during take-off and landing... cruise flight.. may consider this... they are a electro magnet, and I'm assuming the moving parts are immersed in fuel, so perhaps they will cool OK.
