It is filtered by the seller, but certainly not as pure as I would like to see.

That site (worked for me) explains all the pitfalls of using unheated
SVO - I think I'd have to be doing a much bigger mileage than I am (I
cycle to work :-) before I would see any ROI on fuel heaters, extra
services and general faffing around. The idea of having extra wiring
and plumbing to go wrong and an extra fuel tank to hold start up fuel
all grates against my plan - formulated during 5 years of running (and
occasionally pushing) a very modified car - of having a car that is as
the maker intended and, most importantly, reliable!
