I have a D-4 ( # 24270} and want to a water heater. I found one opening on the lower radiator hose. Looking for a place for returning to the radiator system.

Thanks

Hi cfbromm,
The other outlet or inlet is the drain on the engine block

The block drain makes a good inlet for your tank heater. On my 7U there is a small 2 bolt block off plate in the thermostat housing. It is on the same side as the fuel filter housing. That plate can be removed and a pipe bung welded in. That makes a good return as it is at the head level and will circulate through most of the whole engine. Make sure you follow directions on mounting the heater.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
