hi i am converting my 1985 peugeot turbo diesel with the 2.5 liter.looking to add electric heat to filter as well as wraping with copper i will run coolant to filter first then to 16 plate fphe.anyone know where i can get ahold of the higher heat glow plugs that people are using on the mercedes and tdi engines.also i instaled the splash water methenol injection system and it works great i use the -20 straight windshield washer fluid and buy it at winco for about 2.29 a gallon.thanx all for your help and happy greasing :chris p.s fluid is 40% methanol

I like this electric/coolant heater.

The DieselStore.com has 150 Watt Spike heater for the Stanadyne System. Which to me seems like it would liquify clouded oil pretty efficiently although havn't done it personally. It costs about 56 bucks.

I'm trying to learn if the Stanadyne filters from inside to out, and wether those filters are harder to buy, or more expensive.

This has worked out very well for me. It's more complicated than it needs to be. You could probably use aluminum from a soda can as the sleeve. I also originally worried about the heat generated at each solder end. Any THHN conduit wire should work just well as it is rated for about 200 degrees F. With moving fluid I doubt it would get that hot.

I run Bio and my objective was to prevent the fuel from crystalizing inside the filter from cold weather. I also insulated my filter as well using fiberglass matting and fiberglass insulation.

For glow plugs I'd use Bosch Duraterm heavy duty afterglow type. Turning back the sealing surface 2mm allows them to protrude further into the combustion chamber and improves cold starting on vegetable oil.

Modifying thee glow plug control to give 2 -3 mins afterglow will improve combustion during cold running.

Im confused. Is this the heated filter Volvo 240 mentioned earlier as BMWfan's, or is it the same filter?

If not,where is the link to BMWfan's filter?

Thanks

Yes it was BMWfans website that 240volvo linked to.
