This mine. You can see where heater is. The orange one belongs to another forum member. My fuel filter blocks port his uses for heater.

Easiest plan B is put a tank heater on but I don't like where it needs positioned Drain plug on side of block up to tstat hsg. I may pull that filter etc off to see what.

I had to look at my tractor engine, whoever did the swap moved the filter housing down, it also has a dual filter. I will try to link the picture so you can zoom in on it.

It looks like that would make it a lot easier to put the heater in, and it would be more centered in the block.

Seems like it is going to be a lot of work to go to a Tank Heater.  Wouldn't the 1000 watt heater be less heat and less likely to boil the coolant?  Is that worth a try or did the rep say that won't work at all?  Was the rep a Zerostart tech person?   Does it make sense to ask them?  I know you have burnt up every one you tried so I understand why you don't want to try the 1000 watt version or maybe even the 400 watt version.

Talked to zerostart engineer. He wasn't comfortable with 1000wt at that location. A 700 maybe but cost add up burning em up doing trial and error. A tank heater could mount on frame rail and have about 20 inches of hose for both inlet and outlet. Literature on tanks say to keep out of weather. It would be somewhat under fender and I plan to keep it under roof so that might be okay. I just like "clean" installs. Sometimes your choices are limited. The tank i looked at was recommended for up to 26? qt system. Mine is around 34qt. It was 1500wt. This is getting complicated....
