I built a really good dessiccant bead and fish tank pump system for my plane that is operates on 110V plug. It worked really well, kept my crankcase humidity at 10-20% humidity.
However, hurricane Milton had damaged my hanger and I have to sit on the open tie-down until it gets fixed. I'm planning on building 12V solar system to run a pump, but I don't want to invert the voltage.
Question: Is anyone aware of fish tank like air pump that runs on 12V?
 
Can’t comment on Production but I DO believe they protect engines well!
 
Look for a live-well aerator pump for fishing. Some come built-in for the boat (12v) and get hardwired, others are portable for a 5 gallon bucket and use batteries. Find a local bait shop or try Academy or Cabelas/Bass Pro, maybe Amazon.
 
For a lot more money, you could get a nitrogen generator and pump that into your engine.
