Re: [diesel_mercedes] cold starting

1.  Park it in a heated garage.
2.  Put a drop cord with 100 watt bulb under the hood.
3.  Ask Karl J what they do in the far north where the reindeer frolic.
4.  Got to be some guys in the Michigan peninsula who have some secrets.
5.  Keep a gasser for backup.
6.  Keep a spare charged up battery handy.
7.  Pray for an early spring.
8.  Little kerosene in the tank goes a long way.
9.  Check the bus routes in case you need one.

I'm thinking about driving my '85 300TD into the frigid depths of
Quebec City, Canada during mid-February. I was wondering if anyone
had any personal experience with starting a vehicle such as mine in
temperatures around -25C (-15F). I have a block heater installed and
I plan to use it but I'm not sure if that'll be enough. Any thoughts?
Would starting fluid help in addition to the block heater being
plugged in?

Thanks,
