A lot of people are against it because of how "dangerous" it might be.
I, however, am all for this (like you said, that IS what fuelvapor tech is doing anyways).
However, you have to increase temps to much higher than that, something like 200-250 degrees. AND be able to control that temp to not go over. Remember, the system is pressurized to around 50psi so the self ignition of gas rises considerably, which is what people don't really realize and that's why they say its "unsafe".
Again, you must get it pretty hot though. I plan on doing this myself someday, but I first have to see what the temp at my fuel rail is right now (probably around 100 degrees).
