Description:
Engine Block Heater
If your car lives
in a non-heated garage, then you might want to invest in what is known
as a block heater. This device pre-warms the coolant in the car so that
it will be easier to start in cold weather. A warm engine will start more
easily, will achieve its optimum operating temperature more quickly, and
it won't have to work as hard to pump cold oil throughout the engine block.
In addition, a block
heater drastically reduces noxious emissions that are created by your
engine when it's warming up and will help increase your overall fuel mileage.
All have a three-prong grounded plug on the other end that you stick into
any household 110-volt outlet before putting the vehicle to bed overnight.
Or you set it on a timer to start about two hours before you plan to drive
the vehicle - there's no need to leave it plugged in all night.
By keeping the engine
just slightly warmer than the brutal outside air temperature, start-ups
are far less stressful, warm-ups are quicker and engine (and battery)
life are prolonged. You'll also get better fuel economy and lower the
amount of harmful pollution spewed by your engine.
