Since it runs all the time, the amount of energy that it requires varies with several factors like how big the engine is, the ambient temperature, and how long it is connected. While no data has been published as to how hot the engine gets, in cold weather it may not reach full operating temperature. Wishing you the best from Advanced Service And Parts, LLC, Dennis
For this particular heater, it has a power of 600 watts.
In order for the O ring to compress into the block, it is attached to the back of the unit by a metal piece that looks like a wing. The wing is hidden due to the fact that the unit itself is covered by the O ring. It holds into place with those "wings" on the back of the hole in the engine block when it is tightened. Do not overtighten the bolt. You are only sealing the O ring, so ensure the face of the unit faces the block and do not overtighten. A friend of mine has installed three of these units in different vehicles, and they have all worked Thanks for your help, I hope it
In this type of heater, you put it into a frost plug which can be found on the side of the engine block on the zerostart website, it will tell you where it goes according to your vehicle.

Over the years, I have used zero start heaters on my equipment. They've all worked well for me. Looks like it's the same quality as the other one. Due to the fact that I haven't actually used it yet, I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Because it is a high of +90 degrees F daily in Chicago during this time of year, I haven't yet plugged it in. Therefore, I do not worry about it working when it gets cold because I have confidence in this brand.
I like the way it looks.
The piece was of good quality, but it was rated lower because it stated what size it would fit. This is version 8 of 6. This is not the case.
This is a good solution.
It does what it says.
