So the actual kits are rarer than hens' teeth, that's well established. So, can you guys help me understand how they work so that I can make my own? I figure it doesn't really have to even be diesel powered, I got no problem running gasoline and/or propane for it. I also see that there are some "swingfire" heater kits and other heaters for other vehicles available. Is it critical that I get the actual unit, or would one of these do the trick?
From what I understand they plumb into the coolant and/or oil pan. Is it critical that I get the oil pan or would just the coolant system do the trick?
I think a pre-heater like this would be great for a WVO conversion, too. So, please, share photos (doesn't even have to be a CUCV setup, since I'm trying to understand the operating principles) and knowledge. Thanks!
