Abstract:
1. A fuel warming device for increasing a temperature of a fuel from a fuel line in a vehicle, said fuel warming device comprising: (a) a housing having a first end, a second end, an outside surface, an inner compartment, and an inside surface; (b) a copper coil tube spanning the housing, the copper coil tube having a first end that extends outwardly through the first end of the housing and a second end that extends outwardly through the second end of the housing; wherein the fuel enters into the first end of the copper coil tube and the fuel exits out through the second end of the copper coil tube; (c) a stagnant, non-circulating heating fluid filing the inner compartment of the housing, wherein the heating fluid surrounds the copper coil tube; and (d) a heating element disposed in the inner compartment of the housing, the heating element is for increasing a temperature of the heating fluid, wherein the heating element is operatively connected to a power source via an electrical connection component disposed on the housing; wherein when the heating element is activated, the temperature of the fuel is increased as it passes through the copper coil tube.
