Maintenance Service Department: gelled diesel prevents vehicles from starting

Diesel fuel gelling for a maintenance shop poses a unique challenge when trying to drive a repair job into the shop when it's cold outside. If fuel gelling prevents starting the engine to drive it into the shop, mount the 120v Universal Preheater on the filter using the springs and nylon ties and plug it in to a power source. Within a few minutes, the engine will start and run with full power. The thermostat on the 120v equipment version of the Universal Fuel Filter Preheater holds the temp on the filter between 65 degrees F and 85 degrees F.

Even in the coldest weather, the Bulk Tank Filter Preheater™ keeps #2 diesel fuel flowing without additives or blended fuel.

Universal Preheater™

As seen in Construction Equipment Guide.

The Universal Preheater™ is the cold weather Preheater of choice. The Universal Preheater™ converts the metal of a housing into a heat transfer element that exposes a large square inch surface of fluid to low watt heat. This design eliminates any chance of burning the fluid supply and still allows rapid heating of the fluid supply.
