And the air to water heat exchanger at the front of the engine (its just in front of the fan)
I'm sure some retard of a engineer put that there as well:eek:

I have to thank you all for you input.
I really feel like as threw a grenade into Trafalgar Square (why waste time with a cat) . I think it created some healthy debate.
I'll keep the fuel cooler "diesel heater" there for the time being.
I see the merits of regulated fuel temperatures and with a desire to do a snowfields trip sometime it might come in handy one cold morning.
Thanks again all for you input.
I live in a very hot weather and took the fuel cooler out, changed it for a oil pass piece after spending lots of money in 4!!!!!!!! fuel coolers in 1 and a half year... was checking temp after the change and it was perfect, no change at all... so cooler? it doesn't cool anything, maybe it'´s a heater, but not a cooler
It's a temperature stabiliser rather than a cooler/heater.
Fuel temp in hard running can get very high without it, and in cold climates can run too cold for efficient burn.
Carlos, aren't you based in Bogota, Columbia?Quote:
