Mine has one fitted but can't say how effective it is cuz I don't run on SVO. You can see pictures of it at www.discojoe.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/biofuel.htm

The whole system is being ripped out early next week.

A poor man's heater would involve a heat-exchanger from the heater matric pipes to the fuel supply line.
