    Cool Cans

     



    Do the drag racers or any racers still use some method of cooling fuel in front of the delivery system?

    Yes, dense fuel has less oxygen in it, not practical for the street as the fuel goes thru and coolcan too quick to made a difference. In drag racing many classes won't allow it, for the turbo cars i'd set the aluminum fuel cell and iced water cell for the intercooler in direct contact with each other; pulling trucks with the cells exposed in the back will have iced bags wrapped around them or the fuel jugs keep in a bucket of ice and have the cell filled just befor staging.
