Why? I'm not seeing the benefit here at all.

It sounds kind of crazy but it “may” be more beneficial to warm up the fuel rather then cool it down. The DI has such a great cooling effect in the combustion chamber that I would not consider making the fuel any cooler prior to injection. Maybe that is one of the reasons that the mech. fuel pump is mounted to the cylinder head
