I run a CBR 1000 Honda and I ran a 1 inch aluminum pipe on both sides of the car under the pods to a stock zx12 radiator and stock fan. Used hose to connect to the radiator and zip tied to the bars that hold the pods. I have had no cooling problems and with the temperatures cool like they are now I don't turn the fan on for a heat race but I do for the feature.

I run a mod lite and the radiator is above the rear deck and the fuel cell is to the rear and below the rear deck. the hoses are about 6 to 8 inches from the fuel cell. I was an aviation fuels tech in the Navy and it would take 100 degrees to start effecting the fuel and it was jp4 and jp5. We had to keep the tanks circulated and the water drained off. The fuel had to sit still and be at a high enough heat to separate the fuel and water and it would increase the flash point but in our cars the fuel is stired enough and even a 5 gallon tank the water that would fall out after a week of sitting still in 100 degrees would not bother the way a car would run. Ounce you move the car the water gets mixed with the fuel and it may sputter.
That being said if you have something in with the fuel the heat would separate it because they have different weights and it could cause you some problems in tech.
That was 30 years ago.

Here is something else to look at. Some of the stations around here are mixing methanol with the pump gas. Before any body points the finger at any body they need to check the fuel supply.

I get the pipe at Lowes or Home depot and the hose is a 1 inch automitive radiator hose from napa, autozone. A few guys in our club are running an all aluminum radiator that you can get from e bay and it is a honda aluminum race radiator get the radiator that is older than 2000 and make sure the radiator openings are 1 inch. These radiators are 110.00 or less delivered great price and they work great. Make sure you have a good radiator cap.
