Device of heating of the fuel filter

At decrease in external temperature the fluidity of diesel fuel owing to paraffin loss decreases. Diesel fuel gets a honey consistence. For this reason in the winter the special additives increasing its fluidity that provides start of the engine at a temperature to - 15 °C and - 22 °C are entered into fuel (gasoline is worse than AI-95).

The specified additives are not always sufficient for steady operation of the engine. Therefore the fuel filter is equipped with electroheating. It provides preservation of properties of fuel even at a low external temperature.
