Hi. This is a common system in Canada and the states. I do not know the cooling system of the engines but these heaters must be placed in a pipe that will allow free flow of water. If it is being placed in the pipe just after the thermostat then the flow will be restricted and the element would burn out as it would overheat. I would have thought that the bottom of the radiator on the return side would be best as the radiator would then heat up and the water would be able to flow through the engine by convection. I hope that this will be of some assistance to you.
