[Vwdiesel] Blockheater --- ( Whats Watt )

[H.Hagar]

This guy Ohm's is screwing things up with his LAW especially
the square one.    --    Power in Watts =  E squared over R .
get it Kevin Jack ?  half the voltage 1/4  the power on your heater
That's why you can not get it to work at 12 Volts. 

Comes to about 17 Watts.. Further the standard heater is what I
call an overnight heater. It is that slow at minus 35C.  The fact that you can
start at minus 15 C is good news. So right off the bat locate a 1500W 
heater and get a  250 foot roll of 3 X 18 cabtire.If you can only get a
1000W one that's ok too. Get the type that circulates the coolant.Do
not fail to clean and lubricate battery connections.

Next engine I do will have 3 heaters installed. Read my lips.

There are also 24Volt heaters available. (12 V ?)                              Hagar.
