Hi, this is geRAMicc85, today i want to show you an idea that i came up with for my liquified
injection kit.
For those of you who have an lpg injection kit, you know that the evaporator needs the
warm coolant from the engine in order to evaporate the LPG gas.
To speed up the process of evaporating i got a small water heater from the junk yard.
It has three glow plugs in it.
I put it right here between the engine and the evaporator.
The bad thing is that it seems like some of the glow plugs are not working and i will
replacing them today.
So the water runs from the engine from the waterpump through the extra heater into the
evaporator, out of the evaporator, into the cab through the heater core, back into the
engine compartment and right back into the motor.
The extra heater is not just for the evaporator but in winter time also if it is really cold
out it helps to heat up the inside of the car real quick.
At least that is my plan.
All 3 glow plugs have a total amperage of 30 amps thats why i used a pretty thick wire
that i ran right under this rubber over there to the battery.
On the other side of the engine compartment it comes right out here, it is the red thick
wire you can see.
For safety reasons i put a 50A fuse in between the powerline and with this relay i can turn
on and off the heater later.
The relay is connected to a switch on the inside of the car.
So that way i can turn off the heater at any time.
I am going to show you the switch real quick, its on the inside of the truck.
I put it right here next to the lpg/gasoline switch.
Here you see the glow plugs that i bought from ebay for 5€ a piece.
This is what they look like, on this end you connect the positive wire, the other end goes
into the water and hopefully heats it up good.
I use a 12mm extra long socket that fits right over it.
Its a little hard to get the old ones out, its all old and rusty.
Now as i take out the old glow plug, i placed a bottle under it to catch all the liquid
that comes out.
Not only to reuse it but also to not spill it to the enviroment.
As the old one is out now, i can put the new one right back in.
I try to tighten it up very good so that it doesn't come out later.
When the engine is running there will be pressure on it and we dont want it to spill coolant.
I installed the 3 new glowplugs now i will put the wires on.
Here you can see my set up.
This is the positive wire that goes to the first plug, and then there are two more wires
connecting the other two glow plugs.
The negative wire connects to the frame of the heater right here and it connects to the
body frame of the truck over here.
Now i will do a little test with one plug connected.
I will turn on the engine and then we will see how many amps one plug is drawing and
if its working right.
Now as you can see, one plug is drawing about 19.3 amps which is a little more then i thought
it would.
So i will stay with two plugs connected for now and i will see if it makes a difference
in starting up the vehicle and warming it up.
As soon as i have results on how much gasoline i am saving with this setup, i will get back
to you with another video.
I thank you for watching, geRAMicc85 signing out.
