Well, as a last resource something analogue to the grid-heater used in some heavy-duty Diesel engines could also serve well to a port-injection flexfuel instead of either a supplemental gasoline tank for cold starts (widely used in older dedicated-ethanol and early Brazilian flexfuel cars) or heated injectors. A small-volume Volkswagen-based minicar from the '80s named Dacon 828 resorted to a glowplug out of the Volkswagen EA827 1.6L IDI Diesel as a makeshift intake heater as a cold start aid for the ethanol-powered engine.

Have done quite many kilometers on wvo before, quite time consuming to collect wvo, filtering is pretty easy once you know how, have room for it and have the setup fixed
For us normal deadly converting a car to E85 or E96 and adding a small gasoline tank for startup is much easier, also how they did it in brazil from my understanding
Blending is easiest both with vegoil and ethanol, no need for expensive conversions
Been looking into both propane and methane to boost power/increase economy and the kits I have found are all quite expensive
Water injection can be made quite cheap
