Tanis preheat systems are designed so you will achieve the maximum benefit from our system within 6 hours of use. Most of our data logging results show a 40 to 50 degree F° increase (22.2 to 27.7 C°)within the first two hours of use.
Refer to engine/aircraft documentation for minimum temperature required for starting. The heating follows a “standard reducing curve” for the temperature rise of the engine.
With a Tanis preheat kit keeping your aircraft preconditioned regardless of weather – warm or cold – you will be able to take off and fly safely at a moment’s notice. Saves time and money! Just Plug It In!
How Hot Does the Engine Get?
- Our system is designed to raise the engine temperature
50 to 60 degrees F and 28 to 33 degrees C above ambient.
What kind of extension cord do I need?
- 16+ gauge extension cord is normally adequate for 50 foot runs.
- The longer the cord the heavier (lower) the gauge you should use.
- A cold weather cord is recommended in cold regions for flexibility and reliability.
- See your systems pilot guide for more information.
