Cool can installation

06-26-2009, 08:21 AM

Hey Guys I'm installing a new Aeromotive fuel system in my car, and this system runs a return line from the fuel pressure regulator to the cell. I was wondering if it is legal to run the cool can inline with the return line. Thanks in advance...

I think that is a great idea. There is nothing wrong with the rules either.

Todd, It's a very "grey area",and one a few racers have tried to get around. I've actually seen it on 2 cars in the last 2 years......If only the return line passes thru the cool can,you would be artificially cooling the fuel as outlined in Section 19, 1.5 fuel systems......,subject to the Tech Officials interpetation ,personal beliefs or lack of sleep the night before!.........Tom

Todd mount it in the trunk if you can... Pro Stock dose this

I'm pretty sure all Pro Stocks have front mounted cells. Plus, aren't they specifically prohibited from using a 'cool can'?

Please explain what the advantage would be if your
running the return fuel line through a cool can?

I understand the idea of cooling the fuel before it enters the carb.
