FlowGlow SVO Fuel Boost Heater with Thermostat Control

Store > SVO / Biodiesel Products
Kent's design. Uses 300D 2.5 glow plug for heat. Heavy unit to hold heat. Very efficient.

Kent calls this his "flowglow" because it is a straight flow-through fuel heater that uses a glow plug to produce the heat. Since the glow plug is submerged in vegetable oil fuel, it is very efficient and will last a long time. WARNING: If you turn it on with no fuel in the heater and leave it on for a long period, you will burn out the glow plug. The unit must be firmly grounded to the car's chassis to complete the electrical circuit. Do not use rubber mounts. You must use the metal mounts supplied and make certain that what you are mounting it to has a good ground connection to the chassis.

Product Details

The unit draws approximately 12 to 15 amps, so it will need a separate relay with a battery connection to power it properly. We provide that in our STC100 SVO conversion kit.  The thermostat is normally closed (meaning the relay is activated to send power to the glow plug0. At 140 degrees F, it snaps open, cutting the power to the heater.

**** NO INSTRUCTIONS **** If you are buying this to use on your own system, you will need to supply the proper wiring components. DO NOT wire the glow plug through the snap disk thermostat. That will burn it out. Run the low amp power that will activate the relay through this small thermostat!

IMPORTANT: Along with the heater, you should use an accessory electric pump to aid in delivering the veggie to the heating unit. If you purchase our fuel boost pump kit there is a place on the panel to add an extra switch and relay. Just purchase the extra switch and relay with the boost pump kit, and you will be able to drive this heater.
