Abstract

An inexpensive light-weight diesel fuel warmer having high efficiency, being of small compass, and preventing fuel stagnation and contamination. The warmer is comprised of a cold-rolled steel fuel coil encircling a cast aluminum cylinder in spaced relation, both of which are encapsulated within a cast-aluminum capsule by means of which heat is effectively transferred from the coolant to the fuel.
