Cool cans
 

Just curious if many people still use ice cool cans of fuel lines? If so does it work better on carbs or F.I.? Or both? Just wondering if it’s worth the investment. Thanks! Merry Christmas and happy new year!

I just got 1 for my carbureted Cougar. The last time that I used one was in the 80's. I've wanted to try the dry ice and alcohol deal in one that I remember reading about. I'd put 1 on the Escort but I've never seen 1 for FI.

We have not used them for 30 or 40 years.

A Chiller = Yes!

A Can = No!

A chiller and a can is the same right? Put in the ice and the gas runs through it? The F.I. would be the same chiller. Just wondering with the F.I. If there is as much E.T. Picked up as with a carb? Due to F.I. Computer/map/O2 adjusting constantly?

I think the chiller being referred to is an engine chiller that is disconnected before you make the run. Don't know of any cool cans that would be rated for the super high fuel pressure of a FI as compared to carbureted cars. I know I wouldn't want to try one.

Not really sure that a cool can would have the capacity to cool down a FI car as well as cooling all the fuel at one time. The FI cars circulate the fuel so much that I would think it would melt the ice very quickly even if you could find one that is rated for that kind of fuel pressure. Not all FI tuners allow the computer to adjust O2s constantly. I don't want my ECU messing with the O2 adjustments during the pass, but maybe that is just me.

Moroso’s new super cool can -the black one- is rated for 125 psi.

I hardly see anyone using these anymore, wouldn't you see them in Pro Stock if it was worth anything?

I use the Mororso cool can when the ambient temps effect fuel vaporization rates .

My experience with the blue Moroso cool can was not very good. One day in the shop I turned on the fuel pump before starting the car and noticed the fuel pressure didn’t bump up as normal and a few seconds later could smell fuel. I turned off the pump and went to explore. As I got to the front of the car I found the floor around the front of the car covered in fuel and the cool can itself overflowing of fuel. After taking it apart I found the top gasket of the heat sink had failed and filled the ice reservoir and flowing out past the lid. With that top plate of the heat sink removed I also discovered that all of my efforts in building the fuel system with the least amounts of turns and bends and as gentle of turns I could create was a total waste of effort because as soon as the fuel got to that heat sink it was met with a series of walls and blunt corners. Personally I would never replace it especially after that experience. One could only imagine how disastrous things may have resulted.

Good to know, but I still wouldn't use one for several reasons.
