Fuel Coolers

Fuel coolers, also known as fuel heat exchangers, are devices used to cool the fuel in a vehicle’s fuel system. They are typically used in high-performance and racing applications where the fuel can reach high temperatures due to the increased demands placed on the engine.

Fuel coolers are designed to be highly efficient at transferring heat from the fuel to the coolant or air stream. They may be constructed from materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, or copper, and may use a variety of cooling technologies such as finned tubes, plate and fin, or tube and shell designs.

In addition to improving performance, fuel coolers can also help to prevent vapor lock, which is a condition that can occur when the fuel in the fuel lines becomes too hot and begins to vaporize. Vapor lock can cause the engine to stall or run poorly, so preventing it is essential for reliable operation.
