Discussion on ideal diesel fuel temps...

[schiker]

Great White can you paraphase a bit of your reference article my virus software warned me and did not download it for some reason. Its fairly picky.

You might find a really old thread post on it on diesel place (use my same username schiker and fuel temp as search criteria)

Not that I had any real info but I may have linked something or you might find TD's reply with some of his data.

My fuel temp may also be affected since I rose the fuel filter manager up over the engine intake. and the Dmax fan may put lots of air over it now. I also removed this spring thing that used to go around the fuel heater that made the fuel go up it in a corkscrew manner before getting into the filter. I imagine it was to make more surface area for the heater and restrict fuel to have to be touched by it, but I wanted more fuel pressure to the IP.

Just to wet your appetite I did a quick search over on the place and pulled up a few old threads. Didn't see any real good ones this evening but I have tried jumping in a few times but can only really spur the discussion I never really found definative performance data on merits or vices of fuel temperature as it relates to the 6.5.

Weak but one did have some info on 135F iirc as suggested max supply temperature.
