Tunnel Temperature
Since you specifically stated that your purpose of keeping tunnel heat down is to prevent vapor lock, I can offer the following.
While a warmer tunnel may contribute to vapor lock further down stream,by pre-heating the fuel, it is unlikely to make a large contribution to a vapor lock condition. Your chief culprit in vapor lock scenarios is the mechanical fuel pump, or as I call it the "fuel boiler".
Lengthy discussions on vapor lock issues are found elsewhere in the forum.
Having built my fuselage during a time when the tunnel heat issue was discussed in more than one forum, I doubled the tunnel floor for 2" insulation as well as firewall insulation between firewall and tunnel space.
Like others, I have not measured the temps but can easily rest my bare leg or hand on any surface of the tunnel structure at any time.
Since I am burning mogas I am acutely aware of vapor lock prevention.
I do have a temperature probe installed on the lower part of the firewall just outside of the tunnel wall in part as an instant fire alarm and the limit is set at 200F. As you can see in the pic I generally see it around 150F to 165F.
I have tested mogas at 101F for take off and continued climb to 12000 feet with the electrical pump shut off at 1000 feet and no adverse effect on engine operation.
Vapor lock issues need to be addressed in another part of the fuel system if you are serious about using mogas. If you plan on using avgas just follow the plans and you'll be fine.
The 3rd picture shows a fuel vapor sniffer installed in the tunnel but could probably accomodate a temperature sensor. As I see it there is not much value in knowing the temperature in the tunnel.
