In what way would starting the engine hurt the heater?
The only thing that I'm really familiar with in terms of how to wreck heaters is to run a liquid heater with it dry. I know that electric home water heaters can be destroyed nearly instantly that way.
Am I missing something here?
(PS I just plugged in my big wall outlet timer for the winter to go to my truck block heater.)
