Application

The diesel fuel heaters apply heat to the fuel incoming from the fuel tank to enable it to flow more freely on its way to the primary fuel filter/water separator.

Heating Fuel

Heating the fuel dissolves paraffin wax crystals (and ice) that form when diesel fuel is chilled thus enabling water separators to work more efficiently and to prevent fuel filters from plugging with wax and/or ice crystals.

Biodiesel Information

Biodiesel is a diesel fuel produced by the chemical refining of vegetable oils into “fatty acid methyl esters”, or FAME. Glycerin is removed in the refining process, lowering the oil viscosity to match diesel fuel. Pure biodiesel is most often added to diesel fuel in a 2, 5, or 20% blend, and is referred to as B2, B5, or B20 respectively. Other renewable “biofuels” available are raw oils or recycled greases that have not been transformed into biodiesel. These products require extra heat, filtration, and other vehicle modifications to burn in diesel engines.

Two Types Available:

Electric Heated: The electrical heaters use vehicle electrical power to operate the heating elements.

Coolant Heated: The coolant heaters use hot engine coolant as a heat source and transfer that heat to the fuel.
