I think you can just by-pass the pre heaters. They should work the same, after all they all measure the oxygen. Providing they fit, I think it will work.

hi
yea they were something like 90 bucks each i think, cant remember exectly i just remember they were expensive.
i guess ill have to give them a try to see if they fit, so the 5 litre dosent have those preheaters?
