A fuel heater formed from an elongated unitary structure which defines a fuel channel passing through the length thereof and which defines in the bottom thereof a fuel intake. The unitary structure also defines a heating fluid inlet and outlet on one side of the fuel channel which communicate with one another on that one side of the fuel channel.

The invention is designed for use with diesel engine over-the-road trucks and periodically extracts a given quantity of oil from the oil pan of the engine and ejects that quantity into the fuel tank for burning along with the regular fuel. In turn, an automatic oil level sensing device continually senses the level of oil in the engine while the engine is running thus insuring a constant infusion of fresh oil into the engine oil supply thereby effectively changing the oil as the vehicle is operated and removing the need for the discrete oil change operation.

A fuel treatment apparatus having a settling chamber with a fuel introducing conduit passing through the top of the chamber and extending to a lower portion of the chamber to define a fuel inlet in the lower portion of the chamber. A bouyant valve means is located within the first conduit means to permit fuel introduction during normal operation but to close off the conduit during periods of non-operation and thus closing off fluid communication between the fuel treatment apparatus and the fuel tank. A fuel outlet is provided to remove the fuel after the treatment. A recess in the bottom of the chamber has drain means in the bottom thereof for the removal of moisture from the bottom of the chamber. Novel means are provided to permit introduction of fuel when the normal fuel inlet is clogged, for example, by the freezing of collected moisture therein. This is provided by means of a secondary small fuel inlet in an upper portion of the first conduit means.

A fuel heating device and process is provided that allows for easier cold-starting of diesel engines when the outside temperature is -10. degree. F. (minus ten) or less. A 5 Watt heating element is used so that heat dissipates to the outside environment at a rate that prevents the fuel from overheating and, possibly, exploding by keeping the temperature of the fuel less than or equal to about 100. degree. F.

The invention is designed for use with a diesel engine in over-the-road trucks and periodically extracts a given quantity of oil from the oil pan of the engine and injects that quantity into the fuel tank for burning along with the regular fuel. In turn, an automatic oil level sensing device keeps the proper level of oil in the pan thus ensuring a constant infusion of fresh oil into the engine's oil supply as well as a periodic purging of old oil.

An oil cleaning and recycling system (1) is provided for automatically metering a predetermined amount of engine lubricating oil into a diesel fuel supply of a diesel engine (88) as the engine (88) operates. A pump (10), communicating with a lubrication system of engine (88) and with a fuel tank (86), is intermittently operable in response to a regular, periodic signal generated by a control module (40). A control solenoid (36) admits air into pump (10) upon each such signal, thereby causing a piston (18) in the pump (10) to travel upwardly to discharge a preloaded amount of oil into a fuel return line (90) to produce a mixture subsequently consumed in the engine (88) as fuel. The pump (10) is provided with an air-actuated valve assembly (22) to direct flow of oil into and out of a cylinder (12) and with an indicator rod (20) enabling a user to visually determine that the system (1) is in working condition. The system ( 1) also includes a testing mechanism, including a button (82), manually activating the system (1) to confirm that it is in working condition prior to operation during transit.
