Zusammenfassung:A heater for gas fuel mounted to a pressure reducing regulator to warm the gas after the temperature is reduced by the pressure reduction. The heater receives the fuel from the regulator through an external pipe and has separate gas and coolant passages therein. The coolant passage receives liquid engine coolant that heats both the gas and the regulator. A heater core has a plurality of radially extending fins around which the gas passes with the coolant passing through the interior of the core. Coolant flow is regulated by a thermostat that is responsive to the temperature of the gas to open and close the coolant passage.
