A preheater for liquids, particularly fuel, includes a bowl-shaped housing provided with a bowl cover to form a closed chamber. A superficial heating chamber extends along the side wall of the housing to form at least a portion of a flow path for liquid to be preheated extending from an inlet on the cover through the heating chamber and the interior of the housing to an outlet on the cover. An electric heating foil directly contacts the exterior of the superficial heating chamber for heating the liquid flowing through the flow path and has its outer surface covered by a reflective foil and thermal insulation. A filter may be accommodated in the bowl-shaped housing to filter the liquid flowing through the flow path. Helical guide ribs in the superficial heating chamber significantly lengthen the flow path.
