This is a true engine block heater that keeps your engine warm with its own circulation pump. I purchased it many years ago but never installed it. From what I can see, the product remains unchanged and can be purchased on Amazon for .00. I don't think I ever opened the package but I cannot see any instructions folded up inside. It is possible that there were instructions but I can't say for sure. Either way, because it is a currently produced product, I'm sure you could obtain instructions from "TEMRO."
