And use it all the time your engine will last many many times longer for it!! mo0st of the engine wear is caused on cold start up!! SO start it from hot (these puppies get the WHOLE engine over 200f in under 10 mins and works of a 12 battery!) and significantly reduce engine wear!! Ive been running one on one of my Alpha's for 4 gallons and its still got mechanical pinch!!!!
