Guru question for Tony:
Can I ditch my QSM 11/670 fuel cooler. I have 3 use profiles.
1 is local running for 45-60 minutes max with a tank never less than 50 gallons of fuel. Water temp of 70-75, air temp 65-85. Iām sure I can remove it in this use case.
2. Is trolling or idling as part of a 36 hr trip which starts with a 100 mile run through that same 75 degree water/85 degree air. tank is at least half full with 75 gallons or more. Iām sure I can remove it for this use case.
3. The 100 mile run home, 5+ hours at 1900 RPM, 18+ GPH, water temp 75, air temp 80. In this use case the closer I get to home the less fuel I have. In my last hour Iām probably down to 10-20% fuel in the tank I am running from, 20-30 gallons of fuel. This is the use case that concerns me. Do I need a fuel cooler in this situation – 19 GPH fuel burn with only 20-30 gallons in thr tank?
