Mr. BBS

I have today copied your KAT heater can install "exactly" on my 92 XFI.

Only difference is that the outlet hose from the heater can runs through my fuel warmer before entering the heater core in the firewall.

I've run the engine to operating temperature then removed the hose from the top of the heater can where I have observed coolant overflowing from the can.

Currently after a test drive to get more heat in the system, the hose from the top of the can to the firewall is still cold so I'm still unwilling to plug in the heater.

I'll drive the car to work tomorrow. Then check for uniform heat again.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks for the images.
