My plastic tank is also far in the back, snugged between the passenger area and the spare tire. Only the bottom hangs down a bit. I also have something, which looks like a radiator hooked into the fuel line. It is under the passenger side. (It looks like it took a hit - ask the previous owner.)
It has two fuel lines coming out - one goes to the fuel tank, the other towards the engine.
My brother-in-law is a car mechanic, but didn't know what to think of it. This is the first time he's seen a tubodiesel this new. The only thing we could come up with is that fuel goes from the tank to the engine, where it gets heated. Some of it is used while the rest goes back to the tank, slightly heating the rest of the fuel. On its way back it goes through the radiator so it's not too hot when it goes into the tank.
Does anyone have better idea?
