Oddly I ran one test on my cobalt where I heated the fuel tank up to about 150 degrees (average temp was probably only 100-120) when it was very cold out. The results I got where quite impressive, my engine temperature climbed to 110 in about 1 minute when it normally takes a while to get there, my fe was also much higher per the lie o meter.
It impressed me enough that I would like to locate a well controlled heating system (as oppossed to a magnet I have to watch like a hauk with the infa red)
