Does anyone know where I would buy one of those in-line lower radiator hose heaters. Any ideas? Thanks....Randy

Run out to TSC in Lockport. They have the hose heaters and the Magnetic block heaters(they dont work worth a damn).

Does this heater actually have a pump in it to circulate the radiator fluid? Or does it heat all of the radiator fluid in the block without circulation?

Hey Randy, where in NY are you at? If you are close enough, I might be able to hook you up. And no, the lower radiator hose heater does not have a pump.

klf, Hi, I am right in between Buffalo and Niagara Falls on an Island in the Niagara River. Grand Island. Question, if the heater does not have a pump, then does it still manage to heat to block up pretty good though? Also, how long can you keep the heater plugged in, can it hurt anything if it is kept on too long? Thanks klf for all of your help.
....Randy

Randy, I'll try to answer some of your questions.
The heater goes in the lower radiator hose and is installed where the hose slopes up from the radiator to the block.
Because heated water ( coolent ) rises, it goes from the heater up to the block and not down and back to the radiator. The heated coolent moves in the block and colder coolent comes back to the heater. ( Think how an electric coffee pot works. ) Evedentualy the entire block is warmed.
The heater can not over heat the engine because it doesn't produce that much heat and if for some reason it could the engine thermostat would open and circulate to the radiator.
In my opinion the only down side of them is the mess of putting them in.
I hope this helps you.

Boy, you must be from the south! *snickering respectfully here* Every auto parts place in Canada sells them. They heat by convection, like was explained here already. Up here they are normally left plugged in for months at a time. There are no downsides. We have either block heaters that replace freeze plugs or rad hose heaters or circulating heaters that install in heater hoses on just about every liquid cooled vehicle, including many snowmobiles. I even have oil sump heaters on my old 3 wheel ATC's. The funny thing is that dipstick heaters never got popular here for some reason. Weird, huh?
