A better explanation might help us? -
Diesel needs to be above +4 degrees celcius to perform adequately, petrol works better when cold..

In high-pressure diesel injection systems, the fuel becomes very hot in the fuel return line to the tank. This requires specialized cooling
so a finned cooler is added before the fueltank
