All discussion of the FPR aside , I'd like to know the basis for cold fuel being required. Cold fuel will not cool off a hot engine , in fact it is the mechanics involved in evaporation which provide the cooling , and warm/hot fuel evaporates much more readily than cold fuel does. Depends on the formulation of the fuel , of course , but lets say for the sake of argument I am talking about summer fuels , which are formulated to not evaporate as quickly as say , winter fuels are. It's much the same as whether you use warm or cold water in your Aquamist sytem , it honestly doesn't matter , it's the thermal reaction in the evaporation which cools the intake air. a 10 or 20 degree difference in water temperature is not going to make one iota of difference in a 230+ degree environment , such as our non-intercooled intakes would have , especially on a 80 degree day. You follow my logic so far?
I would perhaps understand the inclusion of a fuel temperature sensor from an engineers point of view , his job is also to protect the manufacturers warranty which will be on that car , and running the engine a bit richer makes sure there are no burnt pistons. But on an 18 year old turbo car long out of warranty , it would seem to be a useless affectation.
