fuel heater

Im having problems with my fuel heater. The fuse keeps blowing in the cold mornings. Because of the dropping temps I will soon be unable to start without it. Ive looked on a few different web sites for the part but havent had an luck finding one. Anyone know of anywhere I can get one.
Thanks..

The only place I know of is at the dealer. It comes in the Filter housing. You might try a salvage yard..... Also remove the filter, look down inside and you can see the element, you may be able to reposition it so it does not contact body of housing and short fuse.....

Thanks for the advice. So what you're saying is I may have to replace the entire housing? And if repositioning the element doesnt correct the problem how much will I pay for a replacement?

Well the parts dept is closed so I am guessing the assy that comes with the filter, cap and heater is around $400.00, the heater is availble seperate but every one I have seen the housing has broken when taken apart(left hand threaded). Heater element is around $50.00.
