    With our old tractors that didn't have a block heater we used to use some leftover register ducting (for home forced air heating) and a 90 degree elbow propped under the oil pan with a brick. Then we would run a longer section out the side of the tractor ( 4 to 6 feet) and stick a tiger torch in that end. You could boil the oil in the pan in less than a half hour.

    I use something like that to heat my workshop and house. I live in a small home with a bedroom a main room and a bathroom with a workshop outside. I have a wood stove in the workshop. I have a copper coil running back and forth under the wood grate, and a 50 gallon barrel of water sitting next to it. I have a check valve on the inlet so that it can suck water in but has to blow it out the top into the barrel. After 3 or 4 hours I've got 50 gallons of 160 degree water which I can then pump into a radiator in the house and keep the house warm.

    A smudge pot is an oil-burning device used to prevent frost on fruit trees. It is usually placed between trees in an orchard and creates heat, smoke, carbon dioxide, and water vapor 1. The burning oil helps keep the orchard from cooling too much during cold snaps

    With some fast swap connectors and a more compact and inclosed heater it would be a very nice independendent heater unit for any engine powered machine. Old army trucks used to have diesel dedicated webasto's to preheat the coolant and the engine at @60° for easy startup. Nowadays we have glowpluggs but the preheating sistem was better in my opinion,putting way less stress on the battery and the starter on very cold starts in freezing temps. Nice approach on the "McGyver" preheating system thou. Keep up the good work and the outside of box thinking in the new year too. Happy new year Garage 59!

    Have the upper hose open above the header tank. You wont get flow from thermal convection alone. What you can do is boil the water in the flexi tube. The expansion will push water out the top hose. It will suck in cold water drom the bottom and repeat.
