Hi Peeps..
My petrol line from the fuel filter is going into this and then into metering head..Question is what the hell is it?..Looks more like an oil cooler than a fuel cooler..Any help appreciated..Cheers..Ziga

Yes it is a inline fuel cooler, a bit like this one.

Cheers guys..I think ill take your advice stainless..The flux capacitor is more efficient..At least it wont matter if there is any rubbish in the tanks...

The tricky bit is keeping the wedge from romping past 88mph....

Trouble is mine misfired at 88 and i bunny hopped into oblivion..and came straight back again..

I thought it was 85mph..

Whereabouts is this "cooler"? If it's behind the rad or in the engine bay, it'll _absorb_ heat and then become a fuel warmer!

Have a look on the return lines, if someone has botherd to fit one on the discharge they may have fitted one on the return as they both have there benifits,

Theres just that one up front under front part of bonnet...Near the horns..Im wondering if that has any crap in it from the previous history..

[carob]

Quite possible Zig,coolers have a tendency to furr up inside also.
The cooler before the Ignition Point makes the fuel cooler(obviously) making it more dense giving it a greater bang in combustion. Some F1 cars and top fuel cars do this.
