Part of the reason is they were not designed to continue to return fuel. The fuel keeps recirculating and gets warm, These pumps are "cooled" by the flowing fuel and when it gets too warm they shut down. I think this is one of the reasons they developed the item Paolo is selling. (also because cooler fuel is denser, supporting more Hp) I was going to use one until I read the problems people were having. I like the intank pumps better because they are emersed in the fuel and stay cooler.

Dan, I had the Aeromotive Eliminator pump without the fuel pump controller. I did everything from a standing mile to driving the car from Chicago to Maryland and back. I never had a problem... BUT, like you say, cooler fuel makes for more HP and, of course, allows for more consistent control of the detonation threshold.
This Aeromotive billet pump controller simply just drops the voltage going to the pump under low load/cruising conditions which makes it pump less fuel when most of it is being returned anyway.
==> Less cycles of radiant heat transfer means cooler fuel and therefore a cooler/better charge for what everybody wants to make more of.........
Seeing that just about every forced induction Viper thus far is most likely running one of the Aeromotive external pumps, I am sure it is only a matter of time before somebody buys it. :thumb:
