engine preheat from the aircraft fuel tank test 4, for one hour using aircraft electrical power. 236 mL (8 fluid oz) fuel burned, AMAZING, check my math. the more I use this system, the more I like it. carbon monoxide = 19 ppm max, holding it in from of the exhaust (hot). a fan was used to simulate wind, and the heater was not affected in any orientation with the simple air inlet. a zip tie will keep the oil door closed in the wind. I am focused on the wind, because I have been there before, and you will have wind (many trips to Kansas). I would feel comfortable enough after starting this system to walk back into the FBO on a windy day to have a coffee. That's the GOAL!
Steps:
1. place heater on floor under fuel cap.
2. siphon fuel to cup and then connect fuel line to heater and move heater to final position. you will spurt some fuel making the connection, then move the heater.
3. remove fuel bung from tank and place in cup and close lid and place cup at wingtip in the support base.
4. connect duct work and electrical power (cord over the propeller) and press start
times at 12C OAT:
0. setup preheater to aircraft = 194 seconds
1. glow plug raises to temperature and fuel begins pumping at 75 seconds after pressing start
2. heater starts and raises to full power 210 seconds after pressing start
3. upon shutdown, the unit will cool for 220 seconds after pressing off
