Vegetable Oil SVO WVO waste cooking oil as biofuel

[buzzinhalfdoz]

i am thinking of a fuel rail heater for my common rail cummins, i believe this to be a good idea because i would not be heating the fuel before it goes into my IP,(which might be cooled by the fuel). any ideas on how to make? i thought about wraping it with some 3/4" heater hose or copper tubbing??? a horseshoe fitting(U) at the end would be good so i could zip tie on both sides of the rail??? i dont have a rail temp gauge but the rail and all lines are always warm to the touch.( in 25-30 degree temps, thats as cold as its been here this year). any thoughts???

I placed a 50W battery blanket across the injectors for preheating. Works great.

You might consider doing some reading up on "Injection line heaters". I'm sure you could find things to borrow such as design ideas and material from this reading.

A search of those terms should bring you some good reading.
