dear dont do that thread followers

i have .. but yet to install ... an inline electric heater
this item keeps coolant at a warm temperature making starts and other stuff
much easier ..
it would be akin to keeping in a heated garage ...
this item would go a long way to help those who have vanagon in locations
where cold is actually a realistic issue and no heated garage ...

note this is different than a block heater in just about every way

regards
