Is anyone using the E-Z heat 912 engine preheater? I don't see any posts on it and would like to reduce my hold short idle time to reach 120 degrees.

I installed the E-Z heat engine oil heater and tested it. It was very easy to install. After 2 hours, it raised the oil temp 50degrees starting at 43 degrees. After starting the engine, it dropped a few degrees, but was at 120 degrees in 4 minutes. This greatly reduces the idle time before takeoff saving me fuel also.

That's great, Bob! I'm a big fan of preheating (even in Arizona).
