ABSTRACT:
A fuel heating device and process is provided that allows for easier cold-starting of diesel engines when the outside temperature is -10.degree. F. (minus ten) or less. A 5 Watt heating element is used so that heat dissipates to the outside environment at a rate that prevents the fuel from overheating and, possibly, exploding by keeping the temperature of the fuel less than or equal to about 100.degree. F.
