    Yes, it comes from the CC.

    Gas/Fuel vapors/fumes visible from gas door

    I think the best thing to try first is pick the most reliable car brand (... Toyota?) and select an electric coolant pump from a model that has one (e.g., Prius). Probably will be the most reliable pump as long as it's a later generation model. The nice thing, even if the pump fails, it just...

    Gas/Fuel vapors/fumes visible from gas door

    Something like this might be promising. The F350 Super Duty has this somewhat simple fuel cooler on the fuel return line. Two of the ports for the the return line inlet and outlet (obviously), and the other two ports are for a secondary coolant system to send coolant through (to help bring the...

    Agreed. Even though it would cool more efficiently in the front, there is too much risk of a bad situation becoming much worse.

    Gas/Fuel vapors/fumes visible from gas door

    Agreed, it can affect different vehicles in different ways. My thought was that getting the cooler in front by the grille would cover multiple potential scenarios. First, when it's cool outside and A/C is off (no fan), it would still cool well because it's away from all the hot components and...

    Gas/Fuel vapors/fumes visible from gas door

    Anyone know what the fuel hose size is? I was collecting an online shopping cart of parts for adding a small fuel cooler in front of the condenser fan (the idea being that if it's hot enough to have the A/C on, then the fan will also pull air through the fuel cooler), and was assuming 3/8 fuel...

    Did you get any interesting data from your trip?

    Waterproofing some cheap temp sensors with epoxy and adhesive-backed heat shrink tubing. Epoxy keeps water from coming in the tip, the heat shrink keeps water from working it's way up from further down. I will add the heat shrink the entire length of the wire after the epoxy hardens. The module...

    If you can, you should consider wrapping a little insulation around those now that they're mounted. That will keep the ambient air temperature from affecting the probes, so the readings you get will be pretty much exactly the fuel temp at in the lines. Really looking forward to seeing what data...

    Gas/Fuel vapors/fumes visible from gas door

    It may help engine temperature, but the lower vehicle speeds will also lead to less air flowing around the gas tank, which might lead the fuel to not cool fast enough as the hot return fuel keeps getting dumped in. There definitely seems to be a lot of inputs into the equation that affect how...
