I have a Subaru WRX turbo conversion with a Renegade Hybrid radiator kit, today I was driving it in Phoenix during a 109 degree day, and it started to sputter and run a bit rough. I opened the front trunk, the fuel tank was so hot i couldn’t touch it. I am guessing the radiator, AC Condenser, and fans are blowing the hot air directly onto the tank. Has anyone done any shrouding to direct the air out of the openings on the side of the trunk.
I know I have seen pictures of this, just can’t find them. Anyone have any pics? Thanks Ed |

Out the top, best way to vent the hot air:
