Fuel Heater

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra, 2007 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2007 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The fuel heater is an integrated part of the diesel fuel conditioning module (DFCM). Fuel is heated by passing through the fuel heater element, which is operated by a built-in thermostatic switch. The thermostatic switch turns the heater element ON and OFF, depending on the fuel temperature. The fuel heater element has voltage anytime the ignition is turned ON. The warmed fuel then passes through the fuel filters to the fuel injection pump.
