Has Anyone Installed a Circulation Tank Heater in an Insight?
I did a search but mostly found my own threads. LOL.

I installed a circulating heater in my Civic (RIP). Ultimately not successful. Here's what happened.
I left a hose fitting poorly clamped. It did not hold under pressure and lost coolant. By the time I figured out what happened it was too late. Damage done. Mine was a convection-based heater. Heated fluid should expand, causing it to rise in the hose, creating circulation. Very difficult to find a hose path routing that supports this. Pumped circulation heaters are harder to find and more expensive. But that's what I'd look for if doing a circulating heater again. |
I can strongly recommend a plug-type heater.
Most cars accept a heater in a frost plug fitting. Most Hondas instead, accept a heater in the block coolant drain plug threads. Substitutes for the plug. Civics and Accords have it on back side of engine, just to the right of the oil filter. I had one installed by a shop and I'm pleased. |
