Fuel heat has been known to give up to around 25% gains in the past. It can however mess with those "20 miles out and back" highway tests though when it's a return to tank system because gasoline expands approx 1% per degree C, so if you run it just long enough to warm a full tank of gas up by 10 degrees C, you can use a gallon and not get more than a cupful back in it at the pump.

However, when you specifically use copper tubing, and E10 fuel, a new effect may come into play, copper acts as a catalyst in the breakdown of ethanol, converting it to ketones, H2 and other stuff... this starts happening at approx 70C, so get good coolant/fuel transfer in a copper pipe and you might be cracking the ethanol into handy dandy combustion promoters.

Without fuel, they were nothing..thundering machines sputtered & stopped..Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice
