I realize tech guys read this. Are you saying cooling your fuel is illegal?

The rule book says:
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. 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

Cooling your fuel has been going on forever. And every time NHRA checks your fuel they are also taking a temperature reading on it. If you are any good at it, the fuel is still going to be cold when you do a fuel test, unless you stand there warming your sample.
Fuel check valve before going through the cool can and it will not be cold at fuel check.
