If it is preferable to leave the line heaters on, is there any reason for the switch and relay. If I am going to leave them on all of the time why not skip...
I accidently deleted the email that included the installation directions. Is there a link to it or could it be re-sent. I could not find an email address to...
The line heaters seem very simple to make. Is there any possibility that directions to them may be offered as they are for the other components on your site. ...
Getting an injector too hot with even the high efficiency line heaters available from LHS is not possible. There is just not enough energy available to do so....
... There are three reasons this is not likely to happen. 1. It is unethical to offer how-to files for components that others have invented/developed. Doing so...
Dana, I certainly was not suggesting that you post the directions unless it was OK with the maker. I could not find a link to email the maker directly. I know...
I don't think the maker will OK that. He invested a LOT of time and money developing them and being a business probably does not want others copying and...
Heating stuff up with nichrome wire is not new and you can find all the info you want surfing the forums, but why? It's not worth the time and hassle. Just...
Dana - can you point me in the direction of any information, technical data, test results that would assist in evaluating the injector line heaters as compared...
I am only aware of two types of ILH available currently. The ones I use made by LineHeaterSpecialists and a type developed by FattyWagon. I would be willing to...
2 Q's: 1) Can you tell me where you are putting the temp probe? I have a cooking thermometer stuck into the end of one of the small return tubes from my MB...
I'm using a remote temperature probe from an indoor/outdoor thermometer secured to the #1 injector line right before the injector body and covered with 1/2"...
I think you may have misunderstood. I would use the temp probe IN PLACE of the the injector line in the test I was describing. It woudl only be to compare the...
I recently installed the lineheaterspecialist ILHs on my Volvo. It was pretty straightforward, but I have a couple of observations to share. The "lighted"...
The "lighted" switch does not light up, whether ... supposed to light up when ... Did you run a wire from the switch to ground?? There should be 3 terminals.. ...
Just wondering when it is recommended to turn on the ILH's. If it's only when VO is flowing, can the relay coil be wired to the dash switch that activates the...
I DO only reccomend haveing injector line heaters on when VO is flowing through them..though I don't believe that heating a bit of diesel in the injector lines...
Dana, SInce fuel is moving faster through the injection lines at higher rpms than at lower rpms, do you have any data on what temperature the ILHs will get the...
Hi folks, This is my first time posting to this group. I have purchased a set of line heaters and haven't installed them yet in my 1981 Datsun 720 pickup (2...
Dan.. Personally can't see what would be gained.. 1) you'd need a separate relay (your glow plug relay realistically will fail, if you add the additional...
Preheating injector lines if there is any VO present eliminates the cold fuel start-ups that contribute to engine deposits. If the vehicle exhaust smokes on...
Hi AJ, 1. Yes, I would add an additional relay, but I'll add a relay for the line heaters anyway. The glow plug relay will only signal the line heater relay ...
...Wasn't trying to shoot your idea. I know my glow plug relay cycles off in under a minute, in my Benz diesels.. I thought it would drain amperage, that...
It will help cold start emissions a little but won't prevent the deposits from starting a cold engine on VO. Adding a second trigger from the glowplug relay to...
