Diesel-Therm
Does this device have merit for diesel (non-veggie) application in cold environment?

Diesel-Therm: Heating Temp
The manufacturer Web site reads as follows:
"Once Diesel-Therm is activated, there is a flow regulated heating of fuel. The heating process is displayed by a pilot lamp, which automatically switches off when reaching the heating temperature (approx. 40° C / 104° F)." http://www.diesel-therm.com/diesel-therm.htm -Ken 1984 300SD 146K Miles

Waste of money.

Roughly $140.00 USD + S&H, and it does not heat high enough. You can beat the price. A simple tube coil wrapped around the filter, with engine coolant flowing through, will heat to roughly 200F...

BTW, the unit that is heater only (not a heated filter) is $97.0353 USD. A bit cheaper than the $140 USD heater/filter units. There is an OEM MB diesel fuel heater for sale on Ebay as of yesturday. Little spendy was my thoughts though.

http://www.xe.com/ucc/ Live mid-market rates as of 2005.11.19 16:22:28 UTC. 70.00 GBP United Kingdom Pounds = 119.869 USD United States Dollars 1 GBP = 1.71241 USD 1 USD = 0.583973 GBP Remember to add S&H and customs delay to the billing figure. The system offered is a waste of time and money, even for a diesel in Michigan spring/fall weather, it basically offers maximum 100F in a few cubic centimeters of fuel. Jelling occurs inside the injection pump, fuel filter, fuel lines and fuel tank. Several of the systems used for veggie conversion are manufactured for ARCTIC condition DIESEL equipment...
