A fuel supply system for a diesel engine includes a fuel pump drawing fuel through a filter unit. The pump has an outlet for surplus fuel and also leakage fuel and this fuel is heated during operation of the pump. Most of this fuel is passed along a passage in a through bolt which holds the filter unit in assembly. Heat exchange occurs with the fuel entering the filter unit and this minimizes the risk of freezing of fractions of the fuel.
