In suggesting that we use the radiator to heat fuel (or in this case =
water going to the radiator), I was trying to do a few things:

the first, use an add-on component to todays engines that anyone can do =
with materials that can be purchased at a local hardware store. . .=20

and two, solve the problem of vapor locking and explosion due to heating =
a massive amount of fuel at one time.

Also, in response to Ren's suggestion of using diesel fuel to cool =
engines down. I don't know the answer to that question. I know that =
about 90 per cent of the diesel that goes to the engine's injectors goes =
back in to the fuel tanks as they have provided some cooling. As for =
using diesel in the water jackets. . . that's a good question. . .=20
