Here is my "Injector Thermometer" On sale at CDN tire for $9! Runs on a AAA battery.

Installed on the dash (it's magnetic!), ran the wire through the firewall in an existing boot. The probe is foil taped onto the rear most injector line - about as far away from the heat as possible, and should be the last line to purge. This should come in handy to determine when the system is properly purged (the diesel is not heated), as well as give a better indication of what temperature the Veggie oil is being injected.

The injector lines will be insulated using the foil pipe wrap - Only R4, but better than nothing!
