None, it does sound like it would work quite well to increase engine efficiency by both pressurizing the fuel and cooling the oil.
To make it work on a car the main drawbacks would be needing a fuel temp sensor, and beefing up the tank, lines, and fittings to be able to handle being in contact with an intentionally heated surface for long periods of time. Planes get rebuilt a lot, I'm not sure it would be that safe for a daily drive without increasing the cost by a few K.
