Oil heating

What are the dangers of turning on the heater when the oil level is below the required level?
1. When an electric heater overheats, heat can easily be transferred to the process interface, damaging the seals and even the components inside the heater’s wiring compartment； 2. This causes high-temperature coking of the oil near the liquid surface, in the vicinity of the electric heater.
That’s unlikely, because electric heaters are usually installed at the bottom of the fuel tank. The consequence of heating a fuel tank without an oil level indicator is that the seal gasket of the electric heater gets damaged; in severe cases, the heating element burns out, which in turn causes the oil accumulated in the tank to catch fire, and there is even a risk of a small explosion.
