: I just found a 1950's "RED HOT" tank type engine heater. This unit attaches to engine and has the coolant run through it. There is an 850Watt electrical heater inside the tank which heats up the coolant.
: I assume you just turn it on some time before you oplan to start the engine. Its new in the box with instruction sheets and all needed hardware.
: Does anyone have any experience with this type of Pre Heater?

: Gerry Zell

Here in Wisconsin that type of heater is fairly common. I use that or a similar type on various vehicles and it helps a great deal at -30 F.
Keeps the oil warm, saves on wear and tear on the engine and the battery. You also get heat alot faster. I put mine on a timer to turn on
about an hour or more before I expect to leave. Depending on the temp. I have left it on all night.
