Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent fuel from turning to a waxy distillate, by installing a setting housing, which houses a honeycomb-shaped PTC heater in a fuel leading part of a fuel filter, in case of a fuel heating device for a Diesel engine. CONSTITUTION:A heater device 1 is locked to a fuel leading part 3a of a fuel filter 3 via a metal packing 21. A ceramic resistance heating element (PTC heater) 13 having a positive resistance temperature coefficient is set up inside an empty space being formed by both housings 8 and 10. This PTC heater 13 is made up into a honeycomb form carrying plural numbers of through holes 20. Thus, fuel can be directly heated so that the fuel is prevented from turning to a waxy distillate.
