Think about this. What could you put right into your fuel cell that's very cold, yet won't pollute or dilute the fuel?

Glen, what they are telling you is to drop the dry ice into your fuel cell.

SHHH this is class racing everything is top secret 007 stuff.LOL

Sorry, but Glen was one of the few who really helped me when I got started.

Maybe I should have just sent him a PM......

Re: Cool can??
 

Are return systems allowed on stockers? That cools the fuel ;)

Try this, freeze a coke can and insert it.

Cool the Fuel. I've had my fuel down to 33 degrees in 90 degree weather
You can get quite creative. And still be totally legal. Use your imagination

Re: Cool can??
 

On some cars, the fuel tank/cell is a LONG ways frm the carburetor !

just thought I would mention...
On cool days ( when we run faster anyhow ), say under 70 degrees... cold fuel can actually ruin your tune.
The hotter the weather, the more effective the cold fuel will be.

Re: Cool can??
 

While they look cool, I am not sure how effective they would be. The only heat transfer that would take place is where the can touched the outer edge of the coil. Plus, I have never seen a soda can survive a freeze/thaw cycle very well.

As with old school cool cans, the more contact the coil has with the cooling medium, the more effective it will be. I think that is why you would see alot of the old school racers add ice and alcohol to the can. Ice and alcohol would allow heat transfer to occur to almost 100 percent of the cooling coil.

With that said, trying to cool warm fuel as it passes through a line will never be as effective as just starting with cool fuel in the tank. Which leaves you with two options: icing your fuel jug overnight and pouring it into the cell at the last minute or icing your fuel right in the cell of your car.
