Default Some Dash-8 Questions

Hey guys.

Looking over some of the Dash-8 stuff, and having a hard time finding info on a couple of things.

Firstly the Fuel Heater. I talked to some friends that fly/flew other Turbo-props, and they have said that the fuel is heated by then Prop-oil, which I assume is basically the engine oil. Is this correct? I just want to make sure its right.

Also, if the aircraft is being refueled by the single-point pressure refueling, and the battery switches in the ****-pit are turned off, and assuming there is no external power source will the fueling sieze? If the hot-battery bus switch is fliped on the refuel panel, then the system is powered by the hot-battery bus, and fueling will continue normally. But how about if all electrical power is lost?

Thanks for any help, this airplane is so complicated compared to the Cherokee. lol
