Not sure how applicable this might be but I installed a couple of electric heaters (ni-chrome wires) on my fuel lines and am pleased with the results. Used the Fatty Wagon kit for the big fuel filter. Was concerned about putting heat on the pre-filter, so I replaced the fuel line about 8" before the pre-filter. Wrapped that metal portion of the line with heat wire. Both heaters reach about 200 degrees F. Of course the fuel doesn't get that hot, as it's just passing through. I use this setup for running bio, but have run D2 through this heat and it has done well.
