I have a Zenith CH-300 with an O-320. I had a similar problem in the
beginning. I did as you have done, plus insulated the fuel lines,
installed a small heat reflective shield over the gascolater, and ran
a blast tube down to the mechanical fuel pump. Since then (about 1990)
I have run over 9000 gallons of mogas through the machine with out
problem. Although I will always let the engine (and the fuel pump that
is bolted to the case) cool between flights. If I know that I will be
doing flights without allowing a cool down period, I will put 100LL in
one tank, and take off on it.

What model of the plane is this?
CP-323a Emeraude, although the fuel system was of my own design and
construction. I have added a blast tube to cool the electric fuel pump and
an air scoop on the vents to pressurize the fuel tanks.
