MB coolant pump added

So what is the latest opinion on installing the FPHE before or after the filter ? - Thanks

As I understand it, although polymerization is accelerated by increased exposure to oxygen and metallic catalysts, heat also is a factor and can cause polymerization to form on metallic surfaces that rarely ever contact oxygen (eg: bottom of a heated tank).

This may eventually happen inside FPHEs and electric heaters like the Plantdrive Vegtherm and the Frybrid Hardball.

Cheap insurance against a piece of poly-veg going into your IP is to have at least one of those small sightglass style filters installed in the fuel line after ALL sources of heat.

I wonder what happens when a small sheet of poly-veg slips off of the inside of one of those heated injectors? Serious damage?

Welder - I think that I have exerienced that polymerization situation with my vehicle but I haven't confirmed ( by removing and cleaning the FPHE ?) it yet. I am just curious as to how other people have theirs configured . Thanks -

It would be most effective as the last coolant heated heat exchanger in the system so after the filter.

use a sight glass with a 10 mic filter before the Ip...

Thanks Omar. That's pretty much what I was talking about.

Cheap insurance to have that installed after all sources of heat. I don't mean after every heat source, I mean install one unit only after all the heaters to keep poly-veg out of your IP.

I guess if an IP is cheaper than a sightglass filter, then why bother, right?

here is link to more info on this install

Here are a few pictures of my My 1996 Suburban conversion in progress. First is underneath the driver's side of the vehicle, the custom tank along the frame rail. It's black so it blends in, I painted it with roll-on bedliner from Walmart. The stuff on the front of the tank is a FPHE to both boost heat before the fuel pump, and transfer some heat to the fuel tank in front where the fuel pickups are.

Shucks I would love to post my install of the FPHE in my 300SD, but my arrangment is a proprietary gig that is not quite ready to market...I suspect y'all will get a kick out of it as it is truly an "outside the box" design..

oh just do it
