The 'fix' I tried (and plan to try again) was to use the
wet wing fuel tanks as radiators (almost zero weight gain ).  This of
course
requires that the fuel itself be used as the heat transfer medium

Tracy,
This sounds like the turbine engine fuel/oil heat exchanger. A smallish
unit mounted alongside the turbine that contains the subject exchanger,
which preheats the kerosine and cools the oil.
