ABSTRACT:
A thermostatically controlled electric fuel heater for raising the temperature of diesel fuel flowing from a fuel tank to a fuel filter to prevent precipitation of wax crystals in the fuel filter and consequent filter clogging at low ambient temperatures includes a heat conductive tube incorporated as part of the fuel line a short distance upstream of the filter. An electric heating assembly is positioned on the tube and includes an electric resistance heating element helically wound about the tube and controlled by a thermostat responsive to the temperature of the tube and located upstream from the heating element. The thermostat includes a molded plastic frame having a central opening through which the tube passes. The thermostat includes a bimetallic thermal element secured to the frame and arranged to actuate a snap-action switch carried by the frame. The frame includes a baffle for thermally isolating the thermal element from the heating element. A housing concentric with the tube encloses the electric heating element and thermostat.
