I am intrested to know if anyone has installed a fuel preheater in their VN or VP, if it makes a difference to fuel economy and what the best place to install it is.
i've never herd of pre heating fuel .. where'd this idea come from ?
me....

check this website .
Vaporate is a recently introduced Australian product claiming to give up to 20% fuel economy benefits through improved fuel vaporisation. Since I have received many requests for comment on this product, I have produced this page specifically relating to Vaporate.
The theory behind Vaporate is that it heats the petrol just before it is injected into the engine, so making it evaporate more quickly. According to Vaporate it is common for 15 - 20% of the injected fuel to remain in liquid form and be ejected as unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust.

I know its a different car on this one But if i was going to do it .. I would do a similar setup .. Top hose or another hose closer maybe just to make it look neater .. Hope it helps abit . Or tho i am told that it does help with power and fuel economy .. i am intrested this also, so i might be looking into it further, just to see what the damage is on the injectors and so on![]()
Keeping in mind . .The difference of Fuel economy depends on how the car is driven to .. But i just read what strgas put up and i think youll find some answers there .. Cheers STRGAS![]()
driver attitude is biggest factor , also the condition of the engine too , tyre pressures , type of driving round town or up and down the hills all day towing heavy loads in the boot extra drag from roof racks etc etc
If it does what it says it can do then Holden would of put it in from factory. Its a load of shit mate
exhaust is a big factor too. holden V6s are know for restrictive exhausts. manifold section mainly
