Ignition! We are talking injection.

If it is sized correctly for normal running at 80% at WOT, let's have a 
cold engine, cold day and flat battery. That should be good for the 
other 20%

Now the injectors are open continuously, the fuel flowing throgh them 
will keep them cool. 

If they were to run red hot, that would help vapourisation wouldn't it? :)
