I was flabbergasted this morning. Left her plugged in all night. Got in, turned the key and the glow plug light cam on for only about 5 seconds. The temp gage was not nailed to the bottom. Started up like it was hot!

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Cold Starting Drill

 

The generator is a excellent solution. With the inverter generator it has technology to run only as fast as it needs to to keep the frequency at 59hz, which for smaller loads that means much quieter and using way less fuel and longer life. Max

That works for me. I plugged the heater in and it started in the cold NH morning. I went to work and there wasn't a plug anywhere. After a tow, I put my Honda EU2000 generator, a large battery charger and two extension cords. About 2 hours before I leave work, I start the generator, plug in the heater and battery charger. Works great!

 I had to put a new end on the line that goes to my heater tonight. It's plugged in tonight for the first time. Temp is expected to drop to 16 degF. Barely started without it this morning. Took two tries and a longer than usual crank. This car must start every day to earn its keep.

Thanx to a kind lister here I now have the engine plug end, all I needs do is spot a discarded heavy appliance before the scrap guys do and cut it's cord off then solder it and heat shrink the joint, install and i'll be good to go .

No rush as I'm mostly in So. Cal. where they're easy to light off down to the mid 40's temp wise .

Apparently the main issue is the proper routing of the power cable ~ the few I have seen in junkyards were always burned against the exhaust manifold .
