    I am trying to find fuel tank warmers that recirculate engine coolant through coolant lines for my VNL. Also trying to find a heater for my primary and davco filters. I have searched until my fingers bleed and cant find anything. Any help? My tripac evolution apu recirces coolant when it is running. Trying to make this truck idol free even when temps are in the single digits

    Espar makes a diesel fired coolant heater. Very good unit.
    Eberspatcher? Now

    Davco 382 has heat options, including coolant....12v and 120v too

    Arctic Fox makes coolant Based tank heaters...

    The only style I've seen was one that ran antifreeze inside tubes that hung from the top of the fuel tank down into the liquid. Think of an oversize block heater that antifreeze ran through. That was a long time ago so you better find a good parts man to help out. The other option could be to take a liquid to liquid trans cooler and run fuel through where the gear oil ran before. Those are generally pipe fitting so the plumbing wouldn't be that hard. It would also keep the antifreeze lines shorter than the tank type.

    The tripac keeps the coolant warm. Just need to find a pair of those artic foxes to stuff into the tank.

    use vin 141717 for artic fox system will tell you though it is quiet expensive specialy since tanks do not come with this standard either need to change tank so you can mount coin inside you can not just put them in any fuel tank. this is one of mine that has every single option possible including the artic fox.

    Why subject an expensive vehicle to unwanted corrosion and damage risk by driving in horrible conditions?
