Terrence,
 
Are you sure those weren't degrees Centigrade?
 
The area behind my engine, the dead space betwixt the top cowl and the  air 
exiting the bottom of the engine cylinder head cooling fins, often reaches  70C 
(158F), especially during a slower flight regime (airport traffic pattern)  
on a hot day (30C+) at 1500 MSL.  The fuel does not demonstrate  "boiling" or 
vaporization at such temperatures.  However, idling at slow  taxi on a 30C+ 
(86F+) for a long time (20+minutes), where the air temp behind  the engine 
reaches 90C+ (194F+), there is a vaporization problem that requires  the boost pump 
(also sitting the 90C temp) to help the engine pump (at God knows  what heat 
soaked temp) raise the fuel pressure high enough to force it back into  enough 
of a liquid state so that the engine pump could also push it thru the  fuel 
system as a liquid at the proper pressure.
 
140 kts+ climb or flight speed reduces the cowl temperatures  enough so that 
the fuel, under the proper pressure, reaches the injectors and  thence to the 
induction system for ultimate use by each and every cylinder's  advanced 
ignition system to be ignited so that my air pump actually  produces enough torque 
to be transferred to a rotor device finally  instigating sufficient rearward 
thrust that further relies on Newtonian concepts  to force the fuel laden wings 
passing thru non-violent air to provide sufficient  lift to overcome the 
instantaneous effects of gravity (another Newtonian  concept) so that my machine 
remains airborne successfully once again.
 
Oh well, all I can do is operate in the future by what I have observed in  
the past.
