Sorry, can't figure how to post a picture.
Used 1 1/2 black pvc pipe. Would have liked bigger but wouldn't fit. 1-12" straight piece, 3-90's, 1-45, and came in above window wash res. ( 2-90's by the tank, 45 & 90 to the pump ) Turned the fittings to the right spots but didn't glue anything. Pipe is next to the top rad hose though....oh well, not building a piano here!

Has anyone ever used a cry02 bar like attached below on a diesel. Ive seen them used on gas engines i was just wondering if it will cool the incoming fuel to much and cause it to gel.

the one on summit says it cools the bar to -80f. I imagine that is too cold but im thinkin that there may be a way to not drop it to that level but only slightly cool it.
I just cant picture exactly how to do it

Well, at 32 degrees #2 clouds, and gels at 15 degrees. At -80 it would be super solid and kill the engine. I'm betting that fuel around 40 or 45 would be OK though. Not too cold to cloud or gel, but still flow well.

im thinking that if you cut down the flow of co2 to the bar that would keep it from getting that cold i may be barking up the wrong tree but it is somewhat of a idea.

So running my Edge comp, with the Hypertext tune will fry my VP sooner? When I called Edge they said it shouldn't have any negative effects.

I've looked into Cryo2 before and think it would work well for an Air to Air, but I think trying to cool the fuel down is a little risky. I know I wouldn't let some on try on my truck.
If it could be used to cool down the entire fuel tank, maybe. On the return side of the system perhaps?

It shouldn't. The harder the engine works the more heat is made. Heat is the killer for the VP44.
