My sense is that the injector coils don't want to be exposed to constant
180-200F.....I'd guess the engine compartment is usually in the 150F
range....but this is more than a little speculative. And presumably
you'd be heating the fuel as well--maybe not optimum for power
production, eh? But might improve mileage, if that is an issue .
Oh, wait, you wanted INSIGHT. All I've got is opinion (and then only
worth what you paid for it.)
