Not sure what climate you live in... in climates with decent swings in temp, as the air in the tank cools, the water vapor in it can condense.
So around here, when temps dropped from 40F with high humidity to 0F or lower, fuel line icing would sometimes occur. Since most fuel now comes with at least some alcohol - doesn't happen much anymore.
Fuel in the tank does keep the pump cool. Not sure if full imersion is needed - pump motor doesn't come all the way to the top of the tank anyhow. There's plumbing above it.
