| Matrix type of equipment under body work driver side Had to get under the car yesterday , as had picked up a bit of rubbish off the road and it was stuck under the chassis , Nothing harmfull just a load of poly sheet . However noticed this Matrix with 2 pipes running to it on the drivers side ,attached to chassis . Any idea what piece of kit it is and why is it in that position . |

| I notice you have a diesel. That might be the fuel cooler. |

| It is allways running (well when the engine is). Due to the very high pressures in the PD fuel system (2050 bar in the injector) the diesel fuel gets very hot. As fuel is returned back to the tank it needs to be cooled down so it doesnt damage the plastic fuel tank.

| In the injector yes that is right. Hence the reason the cambelts on the PD engines are nearly 2inches wide.

Gone are the days when i would play around under one of these machines . 32 ibs on the tyres is all the pressure i want to see . Thanks for the Technical low down , . |

| 2050 Bar! I always thought common rails ran at a few hundred bar and the PD system along with it. Never guessed it was that high! Ever been any nasty accidents involving injectors? That would be like a hot knife through butter.
