Put some ice cubes in the tank.

completly pointless if you ask me.
and damn, i guess your a all around ******** arent you??

Now is that just an opinion or fact? Whereas I don't have a transfer case on my 95 I need not apply.

Oh ****, now I see. I forgot about Atomic's transfer case fiasco.

I've always been a skeptic about cooling fuel and especially adding more connections to a readily combustible system..... I know with water it absorbs much more energy when it vaporizes. Gasoline doesn't have near the same latent heat though.

oldred95

Yea thats what I was giving him **** about.


I know and I've thought about it too, the connections that is. The one thing I do know is that with a wet flow intake the gas has a major cooling effect on it. Its sort of like cracking open a can of R12 and spraying it on a shop towel. Aside from the added connections I really can't think of any adverse effects of adding the cooler from a performance stand point.

I really don't think you'll see much gain on a gas truck. Dmax Diesels have them because there fuel get pressurized to 24-26,000psi. That creates a LOT of heat. That's why fuel coolers benefit them.

oldred95

The 2011s are supposed to be squeezing it to 30,000 psi. Someone needs to remind these guys that you can try all you want but you can't compress a liquid.


Maybe I should just use it as a power steering cooler when I put the hydroboost on.

Yes you can. On a separate note, what happens to the boiling point of a liquid when you increase the pressure....

oldred95

I need an example. Remembering back to grade school science IIRC a liquid will compress a very small amount in contrast to a gas which easily compresses and rexpands.

Simple just like the pressure cooker mom used to use. Pressurizing a liquid raises its boiling point. Same thing as a 16 pound cap on a radiator.

Atomic

Exactly. And what temperature do you suppose gasoline boils at under 1 atmosphere of pressure? And from that, do you see why you would want to pressurize a liquid that is flowing through a hot area even though you arent actually compressing the liquid? If you are feeling really confident, look up the advantages of a returnless fuel system compared to a return-style in this respect.
