Re: Another convert and NO HEAT!

Heating it changes the combustion properties, to allow for a more complete combustion.

At least that's what I've read so far...and it makes sense. The job of the injectors is to "atomize" the fuel while delivering it in a specific spray pattern. The two things that a good injector shop will check is the pop pressure and the spray pattern.
Given that SVO has a much thicker consistency than #2 fuel, I would expect the atomization and spray pattern to be impacted. By heating it up you're lowering stress on the injector pump, and delivering something that's much closer to #2 than cold veggie oil would be.
