Homebrew PTC heated diesel fuel filter ?
I am trying to make a budget heater setup to heat the filter separator
on my old truck and use a dieslel + VO mix ( I would like to get the temp up to about 140-150 degrees F . I was thinking about using a PTC heater unit canabalized from one of those portable 12v car heaters ( see - http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=36711 ). Anyone here build something like this or have any tips ? -thanks |

I have seen them on Ebay before. You would be better off to properly clean the WVO and it will work just like regular diesel. |

I guess I will have to try a different souce for a PTC filter heater .
I thinkI that I am on the right track using a PTC heater since it is self regulating. |
