Re: [biofuel] Coolant Heating

Hi, I'm no expert, but it sounds like your talking of connecting in series...so, what happens if you turn off the heat. Doesn't the flow get cut off, too? Whereas if they are connected in parallel, as it sounds like you say they recommend, the flow to the tank would be independent of the flow

Re: [biofuel] Coolant Heating

Derek, That is definitely a very valid concern, but according to the VW repair manual even when you shut off the head the coolant still flows through the heater core. Hooking it up in series would have no effect on the flow or heater core (other than a little less heat). Aidan -
