If it is in fact running hotter, you could use a water injection system
to cool it down (and also increase efficiency a bit)

That is insanely expensive!
Places to find methanol include: racing shops, dry-gas, perhaps a

Good points. But i'm still unclear about the

matter. The point I'm making is that

No Maria.
What I've said is that heat can help break an emulsion. Key word is help.
It's not a guarantee and it doesn't work with all emulsions.
As for your contention that heat doesn't aid in the formation of emulsions,
you might want to consider something as simple as whether or not warmer

You're looking at a lot of electricity to heat your fuel through the

Rudolf Diesel's engine for SVO was a failure, he actually tried to make an

Indeed, I love mistakes in engineering. On the issue of what's different

Pumps tend to aereate when the return is not below the fluid line.
