Fuel line connected to aircon lines?
Discussion
It's a personal thing but I definitely wouldn't remove mine - but then I do use it quite often.
When you're stuck in traffic in 30+c heading for Le Mans, it's lovely to have the chilled air, usually with the windows down. Even more important if it's chucking it down with rain!!
It's a little luxury I enjoy - after all, the power it saps won't really be noticed!!
And I know it can be very hot and humid in Luxembourg, so I'm guessing you're more used to it!!
Let us know what you decide!
Cheers

The device is a cryo fuel cooler. It should be in the return line from the fuel rails to the petrol tank. It's meant to condense any vapor in the line before it reaches the tank, but will only run efficiently if the AC is switched on.
It could be replaced by an air cooled fuel cooler (small radiator), but probably not worth the bother. In any case - on the Cerb any vapor that gets back to the tank passes back out through the carbon capture can before being sucked into the inlet manifolds.
It's very rare that I have the AC on in my car and have never encountered any probs.

Yup, as you said, it's a personal thing.
Worst jam I've ever been in was when they closed the M20 for bridge installation.
3 hours (and with newly installed ACT cooling piping )
Hottest I ever got was trying to find a place to park in Monza, in Sept ,for the GP.
Water measured 102° but I still didn't put the AC on coz I always get a headcold when that throat-level ball-vent is open.
So I can survive it
and
Now that Gordon has told me that it cools the fuel in the return line then I will remove it and see what happens.
I'll 'favourite' this page and let you know how it goes
and THANKS VERY MUCH, GORDON
p.s. Don't know when it was "hot and humid in Lux", musta been before the Russians moved in and took over the Red Light districts.

If you do decide to go aircon free can I have your aircon compressor as it looks a lot newer than mine?:thumup:Yup, as you said, it's a personal thing.

Hi Matt,That Compressor has done 102K ! but has always come up with some engine cleaner and a wire brush on a flexible drill drive
I would imagine the postal costs (plus import tax on it, nowadaze) aree greater than an exchange one
