Anyone Install a Fuel Cooler?

I remember that scandal back from the 80's but had no idea they were using fuel coolers. From what I understood way back when they just had a lot of extra fuel line in the cars but it makes perfect sense now. That was back when Bill Elliot came back from 2 laps down at Talledega and won. He set the lap speed record then that has never been broken and never will be, of course they didn;t have restrictor plates on superspeedways back then either.

 

Got it, so... I need to first be sure my engine is able to burn that without hurting it?

 

We drive the exact same trucks you do. Has never hurt anything. I'm not sure if its straight #1 or if theres additives in it, just that basicly you don't have to give it much thought. I will say this, however. I always keep some Howe's on hand just in case. But when I fill up, I never add it.

 

That was when car owner Hoss Ellington got caught with it and his public comment was that he was the one that got caught and not the other 10 teams he waited in line with to buy dry ice....LOL

As far as running in the winter time you could just cover the cooler up to stop the air flow.

 

For sure keep us posted on the project.

 

Bump for more information

 

in the international trucks forum is a thread about fuel cooler

I have one of these on my Supercharged F150 for the intercooler water and it does exactly what it says, it uses the AC to cool... The one for fuel says 40-50 degree temp drop but i dont know anyone who has used it... Might be another option but the kit for my F150 was $500 so ROI might take a while depending how much it helps....edit---After reading more it doesnt look like the fuel cooler uses the AC system like the one I have for water does...not sure

I want a lightweight air cooled engine since I run that turnpike in Ohio a lot.
