I believe that part of my problem with fuel pressure is that I am using OE fuel line for the WVO. If I run a 3/8" or 1/2" fuel line I feel that I will have much more pressure without even heating the oil.
I have made HIH using a rigid nylon tubing inside 5/8" coolant hose, using brass compression fittings.
HINT: To allow the fuel line to pass thru the compression fitting which is used to seal the outlet of the HIH, drill out the compression fitting (usually a double ended male fitting) so that the fuel line can pass right thru it, and still allow the compression fitting to seal.
