Abstract

A device for improving the feed of diesel engines at low temperatures, particularly at temperatures less than the cloud point of gas oils, without modifying the specific chemical characteristics of the gas oil by recycling the scavenging flow from the injection pump, characterized in that recycling takes place either upstream of the fuel filter and is associated with recirculation towards the reservoir of the gas oil coming from the reservoir through a heat exchanger or directly in the direction of the reservoir with direct feed of the filter by the reservoir.
