Could there be any stealth related uses for fuel as a heat sink? I imagine nobody would tell me if there was anyhow so I don't expect an answer....:-)

Imagining for a moment that it was possible then I suppose this would make it desirable to have fuel as cool as possible and thus provide the longest possible period of "protection". e.g. a brief "cool off" at just the right moment combined with flares - could one use that to escape a missile more reliably?

I know, nonsense.
