1. A propulsion assembly comprising:
an internal combustion engine; and a fuel pump for pumping fuel from a fuel tank to said internal combustion engine, wherein said fuel pump has a housing with a fuel outlet and a fuel inlet, wherein said housing is at least partially made of a thermoelectric cooling material for reducing a temperature of the fuel being pumped by the fuel pump, wherein an exterior surface of the housing is formed from the thermoelectric cooling material, wherein a cooling jacket is not disposed about the fuel pump, and wherein said thermoelectric cooling material forms the entire housing of said fuel pump. |
