D17 series 1 block heater

Tank type heater using the block drain to feed it and cut the bypass hose in two and install a TEE for the hot water to go into. Either that or a lower hose heater. This is for a gas engine.
 
Size depends on how long you care to wait to get it warm. Tank heaters typically come in 750/1000/1500 watt size.
 
I was in a salvage yard last week and saw a d17 that had a block heater. They had used the block drain then went up to the temperature sensor where they put a tee in to use for a return line.

***** That is the wrong way to do it, because now the temp sensor bulb isn't in hot water. The temp gauge will always read LOW when installed like that.
