Eric,


I've got a heated racor fuel filter 690 with the heater. I do not have a clue how to connect the heater or where to connect it. The filter base has two pink wires on it and the relay/themostat that came with it has a red, white, blue, yellow and black wires on ithttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Wacko.gif.

Steve,


You might try contacting Greg at Lubrication Specialists, he sells Racor filters and lists the heaters also. I've dealt with him in the past and he seems to be a good guy to deal with.

I missed this one totally, sorry.


The last one I put in had the two pink wires with a connector on it but didnt come with the relay with the red white blue ...... wires. I am not sure what you have there. IIRC the heater has a built in t-stat and we just hooked the wires to ign hot and ground and the t-stat built into the heater would turn on the heater when necc. I think Greg Landyt sells these from www.lubespecialists.com (http://www.lubespecialists.com) you might want to get ahold of them and see whats up, I am not sure about all the extra stuff

Did you take the power from the fuse block (ign)? Those heaters draw a minimum of 16.6 amps!Edited by: Dmax affair

IIRC we used a relay and drew power from the battery and used the relay to energize it. That way no worries.
