7:1 compression 2.25 petrol Land-Rovers run quite happily on paraffin
without any 'extra' fuel heating (though even for petrol there is a patch
under the carb on the inlet manifold thats heated by the exhaust), and will
just about start on it from cold on a hot day, not a hope in hell on a cold
day for what its worth.
