Default So.. How about a Fuel Cooler?

I want to revamp my fuel/ignition this summer. I have been getting a lot of problems with garbage in my fuel lines, my tank is dirty, etc. Would it be worth throwing in a fuel cooler such as:


would there any small gains from cooling the gas down, or how much that actually cools not even worth it? I live in FL, its ***** hot all the time.

i was thinking about that myself. would having a fuel cooler make ur fuel pressure drop due to the fact that your pump would have to work harder to fill the extra space created by the cooler?
