Some chutee was telling me these bimmas and shindes, especially diesel engines, have this component that supposed to heat/warm fuel before it gets to goes into the engine. Its installed in cars for western markets because of winter. This component is what is heating up ridiculously and finally catching fire and the cars are burning. Thats why we had so many Benzs’ catching fire on the highways last year, because guys here neglected to remove them. I dont know how true that is.
Maybe blacksmith #1@introvert can tell us if there’s any truth to this story.
Old wive’s tales… So in western market they should remove them also in summer? and return them come winter? with todays technology all cars are adaptive and self regulating reason folks no longer remove radiator thermostats… The cars simply had manufacturer defects…
There has never been a fuel heater in any car or machine for that matter in this world, not even in aeroplanes. Heating fuel is like prepping a hydrogen bomb.
Fuel cannot freeze at environmental temperatures, otherwise Europe particularly Siberia would come to a standstill in winter. Secondly, engineers struggle to keep engines cool during operation, once the engine starts, it would love a dose of ice cold fuel to help keep it cool.
In Nissan pickup’s zile za DT Dobie (diesel engine), they have a coil that warms the parts of the combustion system(not sure which part) especially on cold mornings.The pickup won’t start until the coil indicator goes off.
i agree here. plus heating petrol so that you have hot petrol in the combustion chamber is a death wish.
i think even bimmer engineers know that.
petrol left in the sun will evaporate. je now in a 150-degree setting?
