Abstract
The system is applied to an engine (M) having an injection system, a fuel feed line and a cooling system (CS), by means of a cooling fluid which circulates, through hot fluid ducts and cold fluid ducts, through the engine (M) and through a heat exchanger. The feed line has a first segment, connected to the injection system and provided with a first valve, to be closed when the fuel temperature is below a maximum value, and open when the fuel temperature reaches the maximum value. The feed line also has a second segment derived from the first and absorbing thermal energy from the hot fluid duct or from the combustion gases and provided with a second valve which remains open while the fuel temperature is lower than the maximum value, and which is closed when said temperature reaches the maximum value.
