View the latest post Where to Draw Fuel for New Diesel Heater


Hello Everyone,

I'm beginning my diesel heater installation. I'm installing the heater in the hatch under the salon table. First step was removing the Red Dot which went relatively well. After some leakage, I managed to trim back the coolant hoses and get the space ready for install. I decided not to interrupt the coolant flow circuit for now. It remains a loop.

One of my concerns is where I'm going to draw fuel from. I'm leaning toward installing a bronze "T" in the fuel line after the primary Racor Filters. This may be more of a simple installation rather than tapping into one of the fuel tanks. (If they even have a spare access cap)

Invictus has Cummins 6BT5.9-M's. I won't be running the heater while under way. Is it possible this new "T" might foul up my fuel situation to the engines while running?

Please let me know what you think! I'm anxious to get underway this coming weekend.

Many Thanks, Greg
