I have a T7 with a Camel Adv tank. The issue is that in the fuel transfer hose from the aux tank to the main tank the heat turns the liquid gasoline into fuel vapour. In the installation instructions for my aux tank this is explained. For my setup the fuel hose that came with the kit has a larger diameter, greatly reducing the problem.
As for your own body heat do the basics:
Drink water, lots and lots of water, until you are sick of drinking water.
Don't drive in the hottest part of the day. I don't like McDonald's but they have A/C, clean bathrooms and good WiFi, hang out in places with A/C for a few hours, get your "core temp" back down.
Wet down your riding gear/helmet, this will help to cool you.
There are people with more expertise on this forum that might have better ideas, please chime in.
Get out of the Mojave, gain altitude, head back North, etc.
These are just suggestions, please look after yourself.
I'm currently in Panama (on the way further South) here its the heat and humidity that makes riding tough. 34C and 90% makes wearing ATGATT dangerous,
A heat injury generally creeps up on a person. I tend to make poorer decisions when heat stressed, I now recognize this in myself and try to make adjustments to my ride/life when a potentially dangerous heat effect is happening to me.
Best of luck
Mike
