Diesel fuel contains several types of wax and paraffin components to improve combustio capability in pressured combustion chambers. These kind of components are easily solidifies at low fuel temperature and blocking fuel supply to the high pressure fuel pump according to the filter element filling up. In case of high-pressure direct injected engines (i.e., HSDI (Hig Speed Direct-Injection)), fuel blocking may cause serious damage of high pressure pump because of the fuel pump is lubricated by fuel itself. The clearance between plunger and barrel is very small and dry contact of this clements occur fuel pump failure. This study focuses o evaluation technologies for heating element type diesel fuel filters that can improves fuel flow at low temperature. Flow capability, power consumptions and pressure drop has been estimated in a specially made fuel delivery testing system.
