[QUOTE="Dr Lex Winter, post: 591165, member: 20140"] Heat rises. Also if it's at the bottom you could put it in the water to cool it. It's interesting that this would be perceived to be an issue (i.e. heat 'sinking' onto it rather than rising onto tanks above) given I bet the manufacturers thought locating it south would have been a design benefit and yet people are seeing it as a flaw. I wonder if there's another reason for the heat transfer difference - perhaps more metal of the engine in contact with the tank? I haven't looked at the specific pump but usually they're air cooled motors so their chassis tend to heat up, could that be it? [/QUOTE]
