Well, there's nothing in the QRH. Therefore, if it happens inflight (can't imagine), continue normally, write it up in the techlog; if you notice it on the ground, you're not within the operational limitations of the airplane, so don't depart!

Had this happen on a 767.
Was happily sitting there and decided to do an overhead scan and noticed fuel temp was +57. Went to the QRH to find nothing, so continued normally after considering and discussing the problem.
A check of the DDG reveals dispatch with fuel temp inop is allowed, as it says TAT can be used as an indicator of fuel temp, so we used that for remainder of flight.

can't really think of how the fuel temp can exceed 49ºC other than gauge failure or wing on fire!!! i don't know what the flash point of Jet A1 is but anything more than 49ºC would not be too comfortable...
