The filter and lines are installed on the engine side of the firewall. I also insulated the fuel lines. A 1" duct from the upper baffle chamber runs into the top of the box and exits at the fuel pump. Fall has come and it has cooled off enough so that I don't have any info as to the improvement. I will later test with a thermocouple attached to the line inlet the fuel pump. Only thing I know about the temps is that the fuel line was very hot to the touch, during one of the times I suffered vapor lock.
