Lancruiser 100 series water flow

Not sure with the petrol engines but I don't see why they should be any different to a diesel and I am pretty sure they flow from the top hose of the engine into the radiator and out the bottom back into the engine. If you are installing a heat exchanger to heat water for your shower I don't see why it would make much difference which way the engine coolant flows.

Kerry,

Just went and checked my '02 L/C td ute, and the heater hose comes from the passenger side, at the rear of the block, up to the water metering valve, then disappears via a short hose, into the fire wall.

Would suggest you fit your heat exchange unit between the block and w/m valve. Water will flow through the heat exchanger, towards the valve, and into the heater, and back to the engine(on driver's side) when you adjust the heat control, in the cab.

The tricky part is finding an ideal position for the H/E, and having the right hoses/bends for the fit.







The above are some photos I scored off the net, to act as a reference for fitting. The other thing to remember is(and I got this bit of advice off this forum) to have the flow of your shower water in the opposite direction to the engine coolant flow.

Bob.

Thanks all for the info should be able to work it out now cheers all and happy traveling
