Dana,
I think I answered my own question. I think you're talking about heating
the SVO after the injection pump but before the injectors. So apart from
the need to plumb into the (hard) line from the pump to the injectors,
the only problem I see is: will the solenoid valve - either the plastic
motor-drive Pollack or the junkyard diesel valves - take the added heat
of a coolant heater (remembering that Racor's unit raises the temp. as
much as 89 degrees F) or Neoteric's proposed HD Vegetherm (my term, not
Neoteric's.)
Otherwise, I get it.
Thanks,
Craig
