GREAT IDEA -- Pre Heat the fuel!!!!
a) Quicker burning
b) Probably better fuel economy
b) More fumes in the bilge - to really utilize the bilge blower
c) Easier fill- don't have to worry about loosing the cap in the lake

No wonder why insurance rates are so hight!!

Put a bag of ice on top your fuel tank to cool your fuel and a couple sand bags up front to even the weight out and your good to go.

Hey at least when **** hits the fan you already got it goin on. You'd make Mad Max's mechanic look like poo. Now just put a blower on it with a dash activated switch and your good to go. Keep up the good work. You make me smile.

Car manifolds less than a foot from the gas tank. And THEN he hose clamps the water outlets to the exhaust pipe like it will help or at least look marine. Insurance rates? Aint no way this is insured. And if it is it is pure profit for ins company cuz there is no way they are gonna pay out on this rig.

Doubt insurance is a concern. I would assume this is to do a test run on recently installed engine. If not.... Well hmmm. We go back to the dooms day theory. Lol
