fuel pump stops when hot (again)

i posted this a while ago but anyway ill repeat 
VL fuel pump in boot, fed from surge tank. on a hot day after about 15 mins of driving (more so in traffic) the pump will get real noisy then stop, not good in the middle of a busy lane. so i let it cool for a few minutes, then im off again only to stop again a few minutes later.
being a tightass, i just replaced the pump with another second hand one. so again this new one is doing the same thing. so what i did this time was get another pump, mount it next to the other one in the boot. when one gets hot, i flick a switch on the dash and the other one kicks in. this keeps me going for a bit till this other one gets hot then i have 2 hot fuel pumps that dont wanna go.
WHAT TO DO? i think there are 2 things contributing. firstly, pump is in boot getting no flow like it would under a VL. secondly, the fuel return goes to the surge tank hence running warm fuel through the pump.
im thinking of hooking a a small fan near the pumps. stupid idea?
