[Vwdiesel] oil pan heater

[Evans Antoniou]

well,
i was thing more on 120V or 12V.
i think an element that need 220v and is given 120v
will produce 1/4 of the heat potencial.
i dont like the idea of having wires coming out of the
tank.
i thinking of knocking off 2 birds with one stone by
wrapping the tank with a battery warmer and it will
also insulate it. i guess i can use 2 warmers and
place  1 under the tank.
