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).

Doesn't an increase in pressure decrease the Autoignition Temperature?
Plus, isentropic compression of air increases the air's temperature in the cylinder.
I don't wanna be a downer. I've had the same idea, run the gas line through the coolant for a bit to heat it up for volatility but you wouldn't want it to be too volatile and start dieseling. This seems like it is such an easy/cheap fix that a manufacturer would have already been placing these on vehicles...
I'd like to be wrong about this though!
