If you are talking putting a coolant heater into the line to preheat your
diesel.

The heater lines go from the engine in 5/8 inch tubing to the heater unit up
at the front and then return back to the engine with 5/8 inch rubber tubing
again.  You will have to have the heater valve open in order to use that
type of system.  But hook into the heater line just about anywhere.  And
clamp well.
