Me thinks you shouldnt rely on the fuel bowl heater alone, considering all the fuel in the lines and tank.

I replaced mine twice, and the third time I just said heck with it and left it out of the circuit. Even in Colorado at 20 below zero no problems. I'm much more worried about that piece of crap shorting, blowing the fuse and sitting in the middle of 90mph interstate traffic with no start. Talk about a recall that should be done, could result in a very dangerous situation to say the least. In SC you don't need it. What it does, which I'm sure most know, but just to reinterate is heat the bowl to keep the filter from clogging with ice in extreme cold weather. It does no more, no less. If you don't have extreme cold and use fuel which is Winterized, which I believe all is in the Winter, the heater has no benefit. It's not like a thermostat that keeps the fuel at temperatures for improved performance ect. Engine doesn't know or care if fuel is 100 degrees or 10 below as long as it's not gelled.
