FPHE in Toyota truck. I agreed with welder's conclusion that perfectly vertical wasn't necessary, plus limited space led to a ~45° orientation. Hot coolant in at the bottom right, cold fuel in at the upper left. There were no problems purging air from the system.
The FPHE is connected between the fuel feed pump and the fuel filter and all connections are under a positive pressure of about 30PSI.

The insulating covers reduce the warm-up time/distance by 25% to 30%.

The two layer Arctic FPHE Cover is shown before installation in the next message.

I installed a 30 plate heat exchanger from Omar this weekend. I am extremely pleased! I am not a mechanic, and did not install my Greasecar kit on my 7.3L Power Stroke myself. However, after reading the forums, I figured I could do this pretty easily and I was right. No problems at all.

I used Permatex Hi-Temp thread sealant for the hose barbs on the FPHE. I mounted the FPHE vertically, as the manufacturer’s directions stated, under the hood with a large hose clamp threaded through two holes in the body. I ran all the hoses and insulated them with foam pipe insulation.

I cranked the engine, it sputtered for about two seconds and then ran normally. No problems with air in the fuel lines. I got it up to operating temp and checked for leaks, and there were none, so I took it out for a ride. Earlier in the day (it was 70 degrees air temp) I had driven it about 40 miles, and the veg oil temperature was 125 degrees. That was the hottest temperature that it reached. When the engine reached 180 degrees, I switched to vegetable oil. The initial temp of the veg oil was 94 degrees. Within one minute the veg oil was 124 degrees. Within three miles the veg oil temp was 160 degrees. As I have continued to drive it, I have found that the veg oil temperature reaches within 12-15 degrees of the coolant temperature quickly.

Here's one of Omar's 26 plate's on my 1993 Chevy 6.5. I used a heavy duty 5mm thick dirt bike inner tube to insulate it from vibrations and to keep heat in. It's attached to a steel plate with a large hose clamp. I also added 3/8" rubber cushions on the bottom.
