Yea, its dead headed, OEM style. Temp is taken at the ethanol content sensor. (same place) Which is on the supply to the surge from the main OEM tank. I'd assume its even hotter. Though the regulator itself and exterior of the surge tank (infrared gun) seemed to mirror the ethanol sensor pretty close. Really not positive on temps prior as it never really stood out and I didn't pay very close attention. Id guess not more than 10-20 over ambient. I'll review some old logs and see. I use the oem pump to fill the tank. No idea what it even flows... But I don't think i'm emptying the tank.

I have no info on vapor lock and haven't ever had an issue with it that I'm aware of. NOt susually an issue with FI pressures. More of a carb thang I believe?

Don't see why not, just be sure to use a large bypass style regulator.

No reason why not, as long as your tank can give it a good clean uninterrupted gravity fed supply of fuel.
