If it would handle the fuel pressure it wouldn't hurt anything but there is really no need for one on a fuel injected car. With a return line back to the gas tank the fuel pump is always recirculating the gas and gas under pressure will not vapor lock as it could on a carb equiped car can.

those cans are jsut for cooling teh fuel. they will work on any car with any fuel systme unless the clamp holding teh line on falls off.
these cans do not lend anythign to the daily performance of the car, tehy are pretty much to be used at teh track. unless you wanna drive around and stiop everyonce in a whiel to throw more ice cubes in it.

later

Fuel coolers are a waste of time and money, you want a cool air charge only, this is becuase gases get more dense at temp decreases. Fuel being a liquid is only effected a small amount by temp changes. Maybe on a super high comp motor this fuel cooler could help prevent detenation, but on stock compression the fuel mixture shouldn't detenate.
