wabasco install
so to deal with our lovely winters and the idea that Berni can not plug in at work, i needed to figure a way to get the PZ warm for her drive home.
the answer came when Bruce mentioned he was selling the wabasco heaters.
for those of you, like me, that didn't understand what a wabasco does i hope this will help.
the wabascp (WAB) is a fully self contained unit that runs on diesel (or gas) and heats your coolant. it has an optional timer for those early morning starts when it is -30C and your wife wants you to go start her vehicle. now you can just sit back and enjoy another coffee instead. it has a possibility of 3 start times as well as a 2 hour "push me now" button. once the unit fires up the coolant gets warmed up very quickly. you have to get used to the sound of the unit once it fires cause at times it sounds like a jet taking off.
so here is my install, you might have a better way or a different way of installing the unit. it is definately not a 1 hour job.
first on the agenda was positioning the unit. in this case i was quite fortunate since i had lots of room (once i moved the fuel filter over to the fender) to locate it for a relatively clean install.
this is what you get in the kit, the WAB, the exhaust hose, the inlet hose, tons of wiring, clamps, bolts, zip ties and an instruction manual.
i located the control under the dash for ease of use as well as out of the way.
when i moved the fuel filter housing over to the fender i also "T"d the fuel line for the WAB and mounted the elec pump underneath and behind where the WAB would end up being mounted so it would be protected and have a good gravity feed to the pump since it is a pusher and not a sucker...
