I don't think it's worth it to go through all the extra work to move the battery as eliminating a couple of feet of 2 ga. wire is not going to make much difference.

You might be able to use a 12V circulator pump designed for solar-powered heating systems. These can handle fluids up to 250 d...

Yea, I thought about doing exactly this using a 3-6 gallon RV hot water heater with the valves necessary to route the domestic hot water through a flat plate heat exchanger.

I would be interested to know if anyone has checked the euro wiring diagram for the aux pump. Mine was disconnected when I got the motor but I do have an unused temp sensor near the head outlet. Of the three basic options: run pump when cold, run when hot, don't run at all, what's the consensus? I h...

Well, I'm still fighting w/ my '86 2.1 Waterboxer fuel pressure problem and have started to collect parts for a diesel swap.
