The product, in the report: magnetic engine block oil heater
I have a Handi- Heat model 1153 engine oil heater that I have used for a couple of winters on my tractor. Today I was about to change the oil in the tractor and when I removed the unit I realized it was smoking and the plastic case was melting. If I hadn’t discovered it when I did, my barn could have burned down.
