Installing engine preheating Webasto TSL-17 (Espar/Webasto)
I bought this from eBay for $875. It seems to be a good choice to have them installed. Especial when you have to park your truck for overnights on the winter vacation with no outlet to plugin.
These ain't come with mounting, muffler, air filter. Just a main heater unit, electrical connection cable, and fuel pump. All the rests you have to supply them yourself.
And so I ran to Lowes and Home D.
All you need are:
- 20ft of 1" heater hose. (The lengthwise on how far you install the unit to engine)
- Metal plate (To create a mounting)
- Dremel (For cut metal and stuffs)
- Drill
- 1" metal brass hose fitting tee to connect Coolant Outlet hose from the Webasto unit
- 3/8 brass pipe to connect the Coolant Inlet hose from the coolant drain plug on the engine block to Webasto unit.
Unfortunately they didn't have those in the store so I have to improvise whatever I can get my hands on.
I prefer to have a quick closing valve install on both inlet and outlet to Webasto unit for maintenance matters.
1.) Webasto mount under the main frame.
2.) Coolant outlet
3.) Coolant inlet
