I am interested in your set-up.  The conversion in my '81 wagon is a
marine filter with the preheater underneath it, a small, auxillary
fuel pump and the fuel filter/circulator from Lovecraft.  What is the
factory preheater on your engine block?  Do you mean the plug-in block
heaters or is this something else?  I am out on the NE coast now and
NOT running much WVO in the coldest months.  What is the source of the
heater for the injector lines that you are considering?

Also, have you had any issues with fouled injectors?  I spoke with a
guy with 3 converted older MBs (he was running two-tank systems of his
own design) and he claimed cleaning the injectors was a piece of
cake.  I can't locate him to ask the specifics but a brief internet
search yielded little more than a passing reference to removing
injectors and cleaning them with an unidentified solvent.
Any thoughts?
