Default Fuel heat sink?

I have heard of fuel coolers, but haven't heard of a fuel heat sink being used.
Do you guys think this will do any type of cooling or is it just bs? It seems like it would be a prety simple install since it would go inline.

Way too small for a useful difference. That looks like the equivalent of putting a window unit in a high rise for cooling.

with low pressure systems, [carbs], cool fuel is a must.

Today with high pressure systems, heat really isn't & issue.
If it is, you have other 'issues' or a really high-HP treated out
machine, in which case you should be running E85 for it's 'cooling'
effects on combustion.

Really, today, EVERYONE should be running at least a 50/50 mix of E85/gas if you want the best performance.
Real easy if you have a 'tuner' to change Stoich, + a car newer than 1985 with injectors, as nothing needs changed...

The top dogs making the most HP use E85....
