Fuel blanket?
I don't know if this has already been addressed, but has anyone thought of warming their fuel up before they head off in the morning?
Cold fuel has a hard time vaporizing, and you tend to get white smoke from your exhaust while your engine is cold until your engine warms up. Unless I'm wrong and the white smoke is just water vapor.
But I've noticed even when my engine is hot, like near 210 if i'm driving in the city without the heater on, when I stop I still have white smoke coming from the exhaust. even though the engine is plenty warm, the fuel is still out in the freezing weather (below 32*F) and is still insanely cold.
Has anyone thought about having an electric blanket on the fuel tank? or routing coolant to near the fuel tank to keep the fuel warm? This would increase fuel mileage I'm guessing. It's just a thought that has ran through my head the last few days.
