ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for heating fuel, especially Diesel fuel and heating oil, that is to be supplied, for example, to a motor or oil burner. Disposed upstream of a fuel filter is a heat exchanger that heats the fuel line. To continuously heat fuel without supplemental energy consumption, the heat exchanger has warm coolant or liquid, for example from the engine, flow through it to heat it up. Disposed on the fuel filter is an electrical heating element that can directly heat the filter space or fuel contained in the filter housing. The heating element can be activated and deactivated in a controlled manner, for example manually, only when needed.
