[Vwdiesel] fuel warmer idea and question

[paul lew]

The minimum you would heat the oil to without causing problems before switching is 70 F .
  If you wan,t I can e-mail you a good paper that explains the heating, cetane #'s etc. of all fuels. 67KB

I think it HAS to be heated, or it causes the injectors to puke eventually,
so that's sort of moot.
The heater valve would work as long as you didn't forget to turn it on when
vegetable oil is running.

Good point. So, does the heated veggie oil thing do
anything bad to the pump (or, is it okay because
veggie oil lubes better than diesel fuel anyway...)

Maybe I could put a valve in one of the lines (similar
to a heater valve) so I could close the coolant flow
to the heater when there is little or no veggie oil in
the fuel or it is very hot outside.
