Default RE: measuring aircraft engine temps?

Thanks for the tuning tips,
Myself being a car guy have been into the habit of periodically checking engine temps with a meter. It will be a little strange running an engine simply on sound and smoke trail. Sounds like aircraft engines overheating doesn't happen too often? So you basically tune for good clean top end rpm's and a nice smoke trail. How come airplanes dont use "flip lid" style fuel tanks? I have a totally enclosed tank with 2 brass tubes exiting the tank. How do you fill this style of tank? Thanks,
Rich
