Hey all:
As I complete installation of a new diesel heater, I'm thinking about removing the original bus heater (Red Dot). This runs off hot coolant from the engine and might be a good secondary (engine running) if it worked. As it is, the hose connection leaks and the fan needs replacing--not really worth the effort, and I prefer to be rid of the extra leak potential. If you've removed a unit like this, any advice? Believe I need to install a bypass coolant hose at the engine and plan to use a section of the existing heater hose. Engine is a Yanmar 3H 27. Feedback?
