Amazon.com: Zerostart 3309043 Circulation Tank Heater for Power Generation, Compressors, Agriculture, 3/4" Diameter Inlet/Outlet | cCSAus Approved and cULus Listed | 120 Volts | 1500 Watts : Automotive

That's basically the unit I ran, and yes there's some plumbing work involved, though there are some styles that replace a small section of the lower rad hose.

Having grown up in Wyoming with the other typical block heaters, I'll never go back to them.

Thanks for this. Out here in Eastern MT we get -30s for a straight month atleast.
