Heated tip fuel injectors, Delphi makes em!
Here is a link. Read up!
Delphi Multec 3.5 Heated Tip Port Fuel Injector
Seems it's intended for flex fuel and it doesn't say if it improves combustion for straight gas. At 500*C it ought to though. Smokey would be proud.
This could be an interesting mod once these start showing up in wrecking yards. The next question will likely be what engine changes will take the most advantage of these, like ignition timing, cam timing, compression ratio, intake air temp, etc.

You would only be able to use it in a direct injection motor unless you just want to burn the inside of your intake manifold

^Read the article. It's a port injector and it doesn't shoot flames.

I s'pose you could hook it up to a pressurized fuel line and 12v source, and hold it in one hand and have a lighter in the other...

I am missing the reference to 500 deg C temperatures.

Sorry guys and girls. In my excitement I got things mixed up. The supercritical heated injectors are on another link and it's 300*C not 500*C. Product – Fuel Injection System | Transonic Combustion.
Seems the heated fuel thing is catching on with OEM suppliers. Maybe we'll see some on new cars soon. Do a search on supercritical fuel injection for some other implementation ideas.
Again, sorry for shooting before aiming.

I'd like to have some of these injectors; it'd extend E85 season quite a bit.

Guessing or hoping the power needed to heat those offsets the mpg benefits?
