Speaking of heaters though. I did just pickup a spare prius coolant thermos from the junkyard the other day. I was there hunting down a headlight leveling sensor since mine went bad and saw the shiny tank just dangling there. I decided to pull it and bring it home. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but I couldn't pass it up.
The first thing I've beent thinking is that I've always wanted to add a heater to the coolant thermos. It makes sense to me, warm up the insulated tank to dump hot coolant into the engine vs warming up the engine block and coolant and then pumping the warm coolant from the thermos into the warm engine and the warm coolant from the engine into the thermos. I'll be looking into this.
