Fuel "cool can"
I'm sure this has probably been beat to death previously. Has anyone ever done a back to back comparison on using a cool can versus not using one ? Does anyone even make one these days, as I know Moroso has stopped production. Thanks in advance

Canton still makes one but its a little pricey. Over $200 but it does look like a nice. |

Its cooler/denser air that makes the HP.

Depends how big a electric pump is bypassing fuel which heats up the fuel.

Re: Fuel "cool can"
When I had my '56, I was an aircraft technician. I had our sheet metal shop make me a box, mounted next to the front of the radiator. Was about 6" x 12", (not round) with a -6 an fitting (with an -6 an cap)TIG welded on, drained water right through the factory radiator drain hole. Used aluminum tubing, transfers heat better, top flap/lid was on hinges, with aircraft latches to hold it shut. Testing with it bypassed, or full of ice, fuel lines sweating at the carbs, was a solid 8 hun quicker cold. At Fuel Check, near the scales, those old Carter WCFB float bowls would feel cold, and sweating.
People can repeat "only air temp matters", it's another thing Jere Stahl told me to do, and he was correct. I am not the only person having the same experience with that. I know a fast Pro Stock car that cools fuel before pouring it in the car, and icing the fuel cell. That was my experience. Right or wrong. |

Re: Fuel "cool can"
I guess this rule pretty much made cool cans obsolete.
General Regulations Section 21, page 5 Fuel/Air: Any method of artificially cooling or heating fuel prohibited (i.e., cool cans, Freon, wet rags, etc.), except as noted in Class Requirements. Cool cans, wet towels, etc. are permitted in Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, and E.T. classes. Wet towels, rags, ice, etc. must be removed before vehicle leaves staging area. Coolers, chillers, etc., where permitted by class requirements, are prohibited outside of the competitor’s pit. Ambient-temperature air only; cooling or otherwise changing the conditions of the intake air is prohibited. Spraying of intake with any artificial spray or coolant prohibited. |
