Got bored today, so I put a lift pump on and another cooler for the fuel. A stock LBZ cooler can be installed right above the factory trans cooler very easily.

Good idea for you guys in the warmer climates, would almost think in the winter time it may gel the fuel more with the constant supply of frozen air, if you arent running a winter cover at least.

I noticed about a 20* drop this morning after I got to my destination. Pretty much the same route, time and ambient temp. Yesterday I was at 130* and this morning I was at 111* but, my lift pump wasn't on. I think that maybe with the lift pump on it might be even cooler since more fuel is flowing across both coolers.

I ran a fuel cooler up there since last fall


Hit air temps as low as -27 and no gelling. Didnt put on the winter cover

I also don't think that the fuel would get cold enough to gel.

I'm telling you....IL and their gay biodiesel that costs the same as reg diesel freezes before reg diesel.

First year I had the truck, gelled at 5 degrees F....that was before a lift pump to help it along....but my CP3 isnt weak at all..

Did some BBL of my Fuel Temps on Saturday. Unfortunately I never got any data prior to the install.

Ambient temp was from 62*-68*
Cruising Fuel Temp was pretty stable at +/- 101*
Getting on it I saw it spike up to 111*
And stopped at a red light it cooled down to 93*
