would an electric pre-heater not be better?
In which case you may as well just worry about the temp that the fuel goes through the injectors as its here that if the spray pattern is not fine enough you will get coking and all the other associated probs that can be associated with veg.
As this is what can cause the largest cost if anything goes worng it seems the most important and babalnce against a £50 HE is a bargain anyway let alone the fact that everyones experiences seem to indicate that you can use much higher concentrations of veg with a HE in winter
However I would love the tank, lines and everything else to be heated but rather than doing that you my as well just twin tank and start and finish your journey on diesel (though you can do this on long journeys with a single tank if you are careful about keeping an eye on your fuel levels
