Heating the fuel rail may not be good enough, since the fuel is only actually there for a very short time... it may not be long enough for heat transfer to actually occur, whereas in a larger apparatus, such as a transmission cooler, heatsoak will be more likely to occur.

Don't forget to take in to account if the fuel system has a return or not ( most fi cars do) in which case you are flowing much much more fuel than the engine is using.
