Block heater woes -301

Hey! That picture looks familiar!

This mine. You can see where heater is. The orange one belongs to another forum member. My fuel filter blocks port his uses for heater.

Easiest plan B is put a tank heater on but I don't like where it needs positioned Drain plug on side of block up to tstat hsg. I may pull that filter etc off to see what.

I had to look at my tractor engine, whoever did the swap moved the filter housing down, it also has a dual filter. I will try to link the picture so you can zoom in on it.

It looks like that would make it a lot easier to put the heater in, and it would be more centered in the block.

Talked to zerostart engineer. He wasn't comfortable with 1000wt at that location. A 700 maybe but cost add up burning em up doing trial and error. A tank heater could mount on frame rail and have about 20 inches of hose for both inlet and outlet. Literature on tanks say to keep out of weather. It would be somewhat under fender and I plan to keep it under roof so that might be okay. I just like "clean" installs. Sometimes your choices are limited. The tank i looked at was recommended for up to 26? qt system. Mine is around 34qt. It was 1500wt. This is getting complicated....

I would try a 700 watt and see if that works. It seems like that would heat slower and not boil.

That's good to know you completely explored that with Zerostart. Given how complicated things are getting, I might blow another $130 on the 700 watt version, then go to the tank heater after that. I had a tank heater and while it worked, it took 3-4 times longer to heat up. Of course, tank heater is better than no heat at all. It is crazy how big of a rats nest this has become but old equipment always has it's challenges. I know you will whip it. Good news is that you can take a picture and post it now when you finally get success. Smile
