Noooo, you don't want one of those ;-))
Your idea about a one hour run on timer is excellent......see what you can find 
;-))
Part of the problem is the cheapo red diesel that you UK boaters are forced to 
use. Our Mikuni in France ran on white and never gave a moment's problem except 
the price of course, whereas our UK Mikuni needed some fettling to keep it in 
good nick. Cue Mr Napier bragging about how his new Hurricane will run forever 
on UK red....doh.
I really believe that it is the fuel here that is the problem. On my previous 
Mk 1 Land Rover Freelander diesel there was an engine pre-heater that cut in 
when the weather was cold and that used to work well. There wasn't even any 
service action specified/required for the unit which just used to work when 
required (it may have been a Webasto unit but I can't be sure) but, of course, 
it ran on DERV not cheapo red. Just a thought.
