Abstract
A fuel heater for use with an engine having a liquid cooling system has an extractor and a heat exchanger. The extractor has a coolant diversion conduit defining a diversion across the coolant flow path and toward the upstream end. The extractor further has a coolant return conduit defining a return opening across the coolant flow path and oriented toward the downstream end. The heat exchanger forms a coolant jacket through which the fuel line is directed. Pipes conduct coolant between the extractor and the heat exchanger.
