ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank is provided with an electric immersion heating element assembly directly immersible in the fuel within the tank and resting on the curved tank bottom. The assembly includes an elongated, cylindrically shaped, solid aluminum heater body having a longitudinally extending cavity in each end thereof closed by a resilient plastic end cap of larger diameter than the body and secured thereto by a snap fit rib and groove connection. One of the cavities has an inward axial extension in which is received an electric heating element with one end of the heating element electrically connected to the body at the inner end of the extension. An adjustable thermostatic switch is located in the other cavity and is electrically connected in series with the other end of the heating element and with one wire of a flexible power supply conduit extending in sealed relation through the end cap closing the other cavity. The other wire of the power supply conduit is connected to the body within the other cavity to complete the electrical circuit to the heating element.
