You need cool fuel at the carb/s, not back in the cell.
Cool it between the cell and carb/s. However, with a deadhead type regulator, this in itself will heat the fuel as it can be sitting there. A front mounted cell or front mounted 'second' cell is what we'll be putting in ours, with a return type system, which returns to the front cell and through a cooler.

Great idea but not legal in S/SS class which is what the subject here is about. One fuel tank or fuel cell only per rulebook.

The reason I like the idea of placing a cool can at the rear of the system is I believe it may cool the fuel down without the flow restrictions you MAY have with a cool can (I'm talking traditional store bought item) at the front of the system. I see the rule book allows for a cool can. It does not say were it has to be. Front or rear, it's purpose is to cool the fuel and I see that as being an allowable modification.
FYI - I've run a cool can with a return line fuel system. I have personally found no benefit to a cool can with this system. I think the return style fuel system in itself cools the fuel more so than a one-way system and that amount seems to be adequate.
That's just what I've found. Good luck and hopefully you find some free HP.
