Hi All, dont know if you can help I have an old discovery wich I run on Vegatable oil. Recently my fuel filter holder failed abd I found out from another site (Landyzone) that the omega fuel fliter holder is the sam except it is heated.; So I have my nice omege filter holder / heater but I am buggered if I can find a wiring diagram for it from the housing there are 2 connectors one has 2 thickish wires Red and white and brown (I guess these run the element) and the other has 2 thinner wires one brown the other blue and brown (I guess thermostat) can anyone confirm this and give me a basic diagram including the relay :)
A confused disco owner :)

Heater is U12 powered by relay K80.
Main power from Fuse F36
Br 2.5 = 0V for heater
Sw 2.5 = 12V for heater via K80 and F36
Sw 0.5 = 12V for temp switch via F9
(can't read colour) 0.5 = connection to relay coil to energise

Nope, its for anyone who finds the info useful. In this case, we are well placed to help this Disco owner, as the same BMW lump is fitted to both :)

Thanks thats brilliant what are K80 F36 and F9 ? fuses and a relay ? I dont suppose someone could draw me a very simple diagram that even a disco owner could understand ? :)

The switch in the heater makes a circuit to energise the relay, which causes its contacts to close to allow current to flow through heater.
Does that make more sense?
I could scan relevent inch of the Haynes Book of Bullshit, not sure it would help, but if it makes it clearer.... :)

why dont you use a coolant type fuel heater. its a waste of time heating the oil electrically untill the injection pump is up to temp anyway.
i use the heat exchanger like the one pictured in the biotuning site as it is very compact and discrete.
