Thanks for all the information and time taken to relay .

Yes Fuel heater I will definately revisit as I was cock-sure after all the reading that it would give me a good start .

Firstly I was smelling much fuel in the engine bay and this was my main concern .
At one stage I thought I may have damaged injector seals OR have a stuck open injector .I was really worried .

So yes one thing at a time .If you are not aware of my fuel heater implementation - my manual required a radiator last year so I decided to go for the auto radiator which has the transmission heat exchanger built in in the base of the unit .
This I routed the fuel through and it did get nice and hot .

Again I was a bit concerned with cavitation which I could feel on the re-routed pipes .Also flow rate of heated fuel is another question mark .

When I do revisit I will heat the fuel via a long copper tube in order to reevaluate the impact with incremental steps .

My ongoing issue is my ECU is not really supported by any of the fancy phone apps and very little support is on the net .This is the major frustrating thing about my model .
regards
