      They will work as i have a Fuel Cat HEATER UNIT on my 3rd gen, but remember it makes no difference on startup which is actually the problem. I am running on 100% veg oil as the weather is quite warm (the unexpected benefit of global warming) without any problems, even on start up. Even i am rather surprised that i have NO knocking on start up etc.

        Like wise I don't have any problems with running SVO but just wondered if the unit would create enough heat (albeit when the engine is at temp) to make it worth the £50 or so, will it cope with the Surf's greed for fuel . Seems very cheep compared to some other type of fuel heaters, I did see a injector heat kit from Oz but that was $200AUS (electric) to over come the start up problem some have. Just thinking ahead to the summer and the news that if you use less than 2500L of SVO/WVO no need to pay duty/tax or register.

          I'm going to buy this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d..._promot_widget it's a little more expensive, but you've got the twin heating system so it should in theory be less of a problem on start up.

            Must admit that looks good but you would still have the unheated fuel from the heater to the injectors so wonder if its worth the extra money ?

                    Yes but no bids so might get it cheaper, he has a few of these with no bids. Hope that saves me from the IOTW nomination
