I read on all types of these threads about needing to preheat oil or oil can't be cool and things such as that. But I live in the desert, and today it's going to be a hellish 117 high, plus the heat from the motor. Isn't that enough? Couldn't I just put a gallon or two of SVO in my tank without any worries?

Would it be THAT horrible if the tank was almost empty and I put about two gallons of SVO in the tank and run it?
I know it does not happen often but while camping out in the desert I have had 2 occasions to shiver inside of my Sleeping Bag (both time I brought the thin one) at night; but her in CA.
Another time I woke up and found a think layer of Snow or Frost on everthing out side.
