Guy's I would like to get my hands on a inline fuel heater in Australia.

Re: Inline Fuel heater

Hi,
Helton also make an in-line heat exchanger for pre-heating fuel.

It is a bit like a smaller version of the helton heat exchangers that they sell for vehicle mounted hot water showers for people who like to go camping.

try:

I haven't got one although I have bought one of the shower units which I am hoping ot finish fitting up this long weekend. If it goes well I may well seek out a biofuel heater...

Cheers,
Cameron

Re: Inline Fuel heater

Cameron,
I had a design that I have to make a Copper heat exchanger however I have put that on hold until I findout if copper was going to be a problem or not.
The one in the link you sent is copper... guess copper in the biodiesel fuel system is not a worry?

Re: Inline Fuel heater

Yeah, copper is a goer as far as I know. People who are using hot water services as their biodiesel reactors don't have any problems (well I don't recall having read that they have problems, correct me if I'm wrong anyone).
