fuel temps

redsn95vert · 11-28-2005, 09:24 PM

This is probably a real dumb question but here it goes....I know cooler air is more dense and helps combustion, but does the same hold true for fuel? I came across a brand new flex-a-lite fuel line cooler at work for $15 and was woundering if it was worth it. Would the cooler fuel help it atomize and make horsepower and gain some gas mileage, or would it not make a big difference.

Yeppers bro!

Cold air + Cold fuel = HORSEPOWER!!!

yes it would, just have to keep it full of ice.

although the main purpose of nitrous is to get extra oxygen in the combustion chamber, it is aided (greatly) by being extremely cold.

the colder anything is, the denser it is. so you'd be getting more fuel. now to make use of it, you can add timing, and try to get more air too (that is the main thing), this is where a ram air that is usually worthless, might be worth it all of a sudden. or a larger induction on otherwise stock internals.
