That would probably better answered by Richard L.

On the shurflo, the pump will get pretty hot if its run continuously. You might want to look on the box, or spec sheet and see what the design temp limits might be for the pump. I am always uncomfortable covering up an electrical component --- temps can get very high even at low power levels if no air circulation is possible.


The other option would be to temp mount it there, and put a cheap indoor out door thermometer on the pump and run a test. As Burt Rutan says a quick and dirty test can give you a lot more useful info than all the expert opinions in the world.
