Are you experiencing any problems with a particular setup that raises this question?

i wanna hear more on this as well, i'd like to improve stability of fuel temperature to make tuning more consistant. i noticed that if you fill up your tank of gas with fresh gas, your fuel trims go completely crazy and after few mins they fall back inline--i'm guessing it's temperature. i've considered a cooling can, but i dont want the atomization of fuel get worse due to temperature drop, so for now i just wanna monitor it. any particular parts/setups i should look into?

If you run a true return style fuel system (pump to rails to adj fp reg back to tank) the fuel in the tank heats up substantially.
Flex-a-lite sells a fuel cooler with 6an fittings. Part # flx-4136 for $39.95 @ summit. It looks like a small oil cooler.
I have not tried this yet but I have been looking into it. I would instal at the rear of the car befor returning to tank.

Diesels have a fuel cooler mounted in front of the gas tank. I don't know if it would help any put it couldn't hurt.
