Le dispositif comprend en outre un premier conduit de carburant entre l'admission de carburant et le module de soupape, un module de chauffage destiné à chauffer le carburant dans le premier conduit de carburant et une admission de commande destinée à recevoir un signal d'air d'admission, le signal fournissant des informations concernant un écoulement d'air dans le moteur diesel. Dans ce dispositif, l'admission de commande est raccordée au module de soupape destiné à commander la soupape de sorte qu'une relation positive entre l'écoulement d'air et l'écoulement de carburant soit établie.
