[ INTRODUCTION:

It has been found that fuel evaporation may occur in high
®
ambient temperatures, at high altitudes or in conditions of
slow
city
driving. Also, this condition may occur when
requiring large throttle openings with relatively low vehicle
speeds eg. long steep inclines.
These conditions can result in poor engine performance similar
to that caused by fuel starvation.
Once vapourisation has occurred
it
is necessary to allow the
car
to
cool for some considerable time before normal running
can again be achieved.
The fitting of a fuel cooler in conjunction with other alterations
to the fuel system wi.11 overcome fuel vapourisation.
DESCRIPTION:
The fuel cooler utilises the refrigeration gas as a cooling
agent and is incorporated in a new refrigeration return pipe.
This pipe replaces the original.
The fuel cooler is mounted on the left-hand side of the
refrigeration compressor.
