Narrative:

Shortly after passing 10000 ft, we noticed the left fuel heat on light was illuminated. The left fuel temperature was off scale high and the left oil temperature was high and approaching the yellow arc. We accomplished both the fuel heat on light continuously and the oil temperature high abnormal procedures. Neither of these solved the problem. The oil temperature continued to climb into the yellow arc. Since an engine shutdown is required if this condition continues for more than 15 mins, I elected to declare an emergency and divert to richmond which was 28 mi away. We landed normally but slightly overweight at 132200 pounds. We shut the engine down after landing. The oil temperature was in the yellow arc for 12 mins and it reached a maximum temperature of 150-155 degrees. We departed for mia in a different airplane several hours later.

Title: MD80 CREW HAD INFLT ENG SHUTDOWN.

Narrative: SHORTLY AFTER PASSING 10000 FT, WE NOTICED THE L FUEL HEAT ON LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE L FUEL TEMP WAS OFF SCALE HIGH AND THE L OIL TEMP WAS HIGH AND APCHING THE YELLOW ARC. WE ACCOMPLISHED BOTH THE FUEL HEAT ON LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY AND THE OIL TEMP HIGH ABNORMAL PROCS. NEITHER OF THESE SOLVED THE PROB. THE OIL TEMP CONTINUED TO CLB INTO THE YELLOW ARC. SINCE AN ENG SHUTDOWN IS REQUIRED IF THIS CONDITION CONTINUES FOR MORE THAN 15 MINS, I ELECTED TO DECLARE AN EMER AND DIVERT TO RICHMOND WHICH WAS 28 MI AWAY. WE LANDED NORMALLY BUT SLIGHTLY OVERWT AT 132200 LBS. WE SHUT THE ENG DOWN AFTER LNDG. THE OIL TEMP WAS IN THE YELLOW ARC FOR 12 MINS AND IT REACHED A MAX TEMP OF 150-155 DEGS. WE DEPARTED FOR MIA IN A DIFFERENT AIRPLANE SEVERAL HRS LATER.
