    Has anyone tried a fuel cooler or the fuel cooler can and do you think it made a difference?

    i believe he's referring to something known as a "cool can." By cooling off the fuel, you can help decrease your intake charge temps.

    A fuel line runs through the can and you fill the can with ice its supposed to = better fuel density.

    If you make the fuel temperature below freezing you'll have a hard time getting the fuel to atomize which will rob power.

    You guys have never herd of keeping your fuel cool? Its not really a problem on fuel injected vehicles, but on carbed vehicles you want to keep the fuel as cool as you can or else it will start to vaporize too soon and it will run like ****. Also 4 stroke motocross bikes have a huge problem with it.

    Fuel logs help keep the fuel cooler.

    I can't believe most of you haven't heard of a cool can for your fuel line. It is awesome on an engine with a carburetor. It's an old drag strip/ sat night @ the 4 lanes trick. We use to put ice cubes on the intake a few mins before the race. The car would run great. Huge, noticeable difference. Then someone came up with the idea of running the fuel lines through an aluminum can you can fill with ice... before a race. It cools/ condenses the atoms. More fuel more power. However I have never tried it on a fuel injected engine. But, perhaps I will try it on one of the projects.
