SYSTEM FOR HEATING FUEL OIL

摘要

A mechanism (10) for heating diesel fuel in a diesel engine vehicle is disclosed. The mechanism (10) includes a heat exchange conduit (18), a portion of which is adapted to be held in the interior of a fuel tank (12) of a diesel engine (16). An inlet conduit (42) connects an inlet end (30) of the heat exchange conduit (18) to a water manifold (44) of the diesel engine (16). An outlet conduit (46) connects an outlet end (32) of the heat exchange conduit(18) to the engine block (48) of the diesel engine (16). In this manner, coolant liquid from the diesel engine (16) is passed through the heat exchange conduit (18) to heat diesel fuel contained in the fuel tank (12).
