I'm just wondering what kind of real-world benefit there is to cooling the fuel personally. I know on the Honda F1 turbocharged racecars, they actually pre-heated the fuel to a certain temperature using engine coolant to help atomization, now whether that was to help fuel economy, power, or a bit of both I don't recall. I'm just not sure it's going to help you...

I also thought of running one using an outboard boat water-cooled oil cooler, and plumbing it in-line with my air-water intercooler. But when I looked into it I couldn't find much more benefit than just me thinking it would help.
