In-Line Coolant Heater Location?
I had an annoying slow leak. I pumped the lines full and capped one end and put a regulator on the other and pressurized it to 5PSI And let it set. My primary bowl was the only place I found fuel weeping. It was also looking pretty sad so I replaced the 2 piece unit with a one piece Baldwin... -

that is not the p/n we are talking about. Take the 18 at the end and turn it into an 81... and the 81 is for a 44mm hole... 3500015 is the 1000w version, 81 is the 1500w version. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/TWR3500081?keywordInput=3500081 those are also pretty expensive, you can find... -

Heating the oil pan isn’t a bad idea, warm oil lifts and pumps easier. Any warm fuel in the head starts getting pumped away as soon as you start cranking the engine. heating the Secondary fuel filter will help keep the fuel Supply to the injectors warm for an easier initial start. I don’t like... -

The block heater is the easiest to get right. Inline heaters, unless they have a built in pump require a little more thought to get them to thermo-siphon properly to get the heat thru the entire block/head. I usually install them between a block drain on one end of the block to a port on the...
