tapping into coolant lines...........
On the weekend I moved my SVO project further by running 'the bundle' of coolant feed&return, fuel feed and wiring from the new SVO tank to the firewall.
I tapped into the coolant line just before the heater core with a Y and sent a branch to feed the HFPU in the veggie tank. The return coolant line from the veggie tank went into the FPHE and then the return from the flat plate heater took a Y back into the stock coolant return.
I'm thinking in series is going to get me the most consistent heat for my devices but I'm wondering if when I turn on the cab heater if I'll loose alot of heat to my coolant devices. The shorter heater core lines are likely less resistance and I'm hoping there will still be lots of pressurized hot coolant to go around. I'll have a thermometer in the tank so I guess I'll know more in time as I get some readings.
I'm wondering what plumbing designs others have undertaken and what their experiences have been?
