Default Tap Tower Cooling

OK... I have a question for you Kegerator engineers.
If I put a 15cfm blower in the bottom of the Kegerator, just how far up the tower should I run the hose? I have a Danby Kegerator (I have almost as much in modifications to make this thing work right as I did to buy it!!)
One other question.....
My MGD Pony keg has a rubber coating on it, will that make it harder to cool?

Thanks,
B-B

Normally you can mount the blower in an area out of the way of the keg and then route the flex tube up the tower so that it stops right at the back of the shank. Hook it to the clamp ear. If this refrigerator has the plate technology, try to mount the blower so that the intake is able to acquire the coldest air possible.

If the keg has warmed the jacket actually acts as an insulator. So the answer would be yes if you are in the forties and what to cool down to 38F.
