What's the advantage gained by adding a fuel cooler?  Is this something
peculiar to VW's distributer-type injection pumps, which are lubricated
entirely by the fuel, or is it something else?  My MB has a thermostatically
controlled fuel heater (on the feed side of the pump), but I'm just curious
to learn more about why a fuel cooler is required for this application.
