About all that gauge is going to tell him is that fuel temp climbs a  bit
after running for a while.  Fuel on the way around the warm engine bay
returning to the tank will warm it a little bit.  With the temperature of
the air being almost all of the volume going into the system the fuel temp
is basicly meaningless.
