Didnt kow it but the pump has 3/4 plugs on it so I had to buy 2 adapter fittings.... Would have been much easier with a 5/8 one...
Duh. You did say it was 120V but I was focused on the wiring for the circulating pump... Too bad the Zerostart heater doesn't include a circulating pump. I wonder why?
There were discussions here on the forum pointing out that the Prius uses a thermal storage tank for coolant. That should work nicely especially for times when there's no electrical source to use for heating.
Also, has anyone tried using an engine block blanket?
Thanks for the links, I hope it works for you. Looking forward to your updates.
