Interesting reading these old threads. At blends of 20%VO or less I dont think there is need for heat, but your money savings and "feel good" benefit of using less fossil fuel is minimal.
To truly save money, either transesterification needs to take place to strip the Glycerin molecule from the oil, or a heated piggyback fuel system must be added to inject at 170*F.
