In a tropical climate like Florida you can probably get away with almost straight WVO. An inline electric heater like the one offered by Neoteric Biofuels installed right before the IP would be cheap insurance that the WVO is hot enough. Simply turn on heater and wait a few seconds, etc. for it to heat up the fuel in the line, then cycle the plugs and start the car. The heated WVO/fuel would quickly enter the IP and heat it up. I would even be tempted to install an oil pan heater on the exterior of the IP for "winter" morning starts. There appears to be great success in blending in warm climates yet there are no guarantees. So become a guinea pig or watch from the sidelines. RT
