<p>The invention relates to a fuel conduit (10) adapted for mounting in the fuel system of a diesel engine between the outlet from the fuel injector pump (1) and the inlet to an injector (11) through which fuel is to be fed to a cylinder bore (12) of the engine, which conduit (10) is characterised in that it contains a material (13) which is normally non-mobile under ambient conditions but which can be moved and/or becomes mobile when contacted with diesel fuel under pressure, notably a paraffin wax or grease. The invention also provides a diesel engine when fitted with fuel conduits of the invention, and a method for starting up an engine, notably a newly assembled engine, wherein the fuel conduits contain such a material.</p> |
