Asking this question for a friend.

He saw a show on TV where they showed a propane powered engine block heater? He has a second generation 12 valve (97 model year) if it matters.

Anyone familiar with such a device?

Pros, cons, anything?

thanks
Todd

 

Ive heard of some homemade versions.

I have a diesel fired hydronic water heater. Works GREAT !:

Hey Doc, how much does one of those set ups run. I am not able to plug in at work and the espar looks like the hot ticket thanks

I dont have one but from other threads on this topic they are around $1000+- uninstalled. I to hope to have one some day but for now I cant justify the money.

Sory I should have specified thats for the Espar.

 

Have a buddy who had one on his trackhoe said on windy days could blow out flame also didnt like having to get 20lb tank refilled all the time. esbar is much better I have one and love it.
