Fuel Op Heater
This is a Fuel Operated Heater Dashboard Indicator symbol. It appears as a line with three wavy heat lines rising from it and a number alongside. The system warms up the engine and interior compartment in a gas or diesel powered vehicle without actually running the engine itself.
- Before moving on, is this truly your symbol??
- If not, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!
The system can be set to operate automatically when the outside temperature or the engine’s coolant temperature reaches a preset low. The fuel operated heater can also be completely shut down.
