Abstract
An improved diesel fuel heater wherein a predetermined quantity of fuel is captured within the heater in a reservoir defined therein. This quantity is heated by the heater's positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors (and heat conductive mounting plate) to assure a heated quantity of fuel will be pumped into the fuel system's filter element to enhance de-waxing thereof.
