Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - What to warm up manually to switch to gas quicker

I have a V70 bi fuel factory fit and finding in winter when starting up first thing in the morning I am running on petrol for about a mile and a half. I use about 2 galls of petrol a week because of the time spent running on petrol. I see no reason why, when I pour warm water over my windscreen first thing, I shouldnt be able to lift the bonnett and pour hot water over the sensor that switches the car over to gas. At least then I could reduce my petrol consumption.
Can someone please tell me in laymans language where this part is I have to heat up or possibly send a picture.
Many thanks
