Yes that would work. I do not think that would be easy for the average user to install though. Adding two extra NPT connections to fuel tanks is a challenging job for even advanced mechanics because of the explosive potential of fuel.

I can easily convert this system to directly cool fuel, but then no one else would be able to use it and most professional racing organizations would ban it.

My system does have it's flaws... number one the copper rail to fuel rail thermal conductivity. Luckily, I am getting results even with this 50-75% thermal energy loss.
