Fuel Cooler?

[shakotan-cefiro]

after getting everything ready for my new fuel setup

it dawned on me that issues with unused fuel returning to tank hot ,

could be aided by some type of cooling

i was thinking a small oil / trans cooler with a fan mounted to it might work

some thing like this

Contact Robbie Bolger and his piece of shit.

i am sure that hot fuel is the worst of everyones worries.

i doubt it would do much more for performance than an air freshener would.

save your money!

you would be suprised how much hot fuel can affect a motor.

depends on the setup we have used alot of them (buy them ex v8 supercar -16an)

dash 16 trent?

or dash 6?

[gfunkk]

could be done really cheap using a 2nd hand p/s cooler off a commodore or something

but yeah not sure what difference it makes, considering that so little fuel goes in

Waste of time match your fuel pumps flow rate to your power output with a safety margin of 30% and you won't have any issues with hot fuel.

[shakotan-cefiro]

do you have an equation or something for this ?

eg flow rate /boost/max hp?

[Adriano]

Except a car with 600hp willl heat up the fuel as it usually only needs 50hp of fuel and 5the rest goes round and round. I would say it isnt really an issue in a drift car, as they dont run for very long, and as rob said a good % of the fuel that goes into the rail goes into the motor, not round and round

1500hp twin turbo v8's...... idling around town with aeromotive 11102 's there is a whole lot of bypass.. hence why we use them. Application

using a cheap tranny cooler from super shit in the return line on my car. mounted it just behind the diff.

i dont see how you'd be getting hot fuel in a drift car tho, it takes a long time at light load for even a 044 to start cavitating, not like drift cars are at 1-2% inj duty for long

Why the hell do you have two aeromotive pumps when 1 is capable of that horsepower. Why wouldn't you just you just stage the big pump and run an 044 as a primary? Surely a 1500hp car isn't going to be hanging around the streets for too long anyway

As far as formula's go. Multiply your injector size by the amount of injectors you have then add 30%.

thankyou rob82 il do some maths lol

it will be used as a street car aswell, hence the problem

have had probs with hot fuel b4 so want to avoid it as much as poss

RE-READ my post "twin turbo V8's" ..... im referring to multiple cars hence multiple pumps....

you would be surprised how many kms one of them does, frequently driving interstate.
