Just get a MD, 450d... Start on gas
in any weather, no problems. I bought
a mag block heater for $20 recently. I use
it for pre-heating veggy oil in my fuel
filter. Once the engine is warm, its not
necessary though. If you run straight veggy
oil, it needs to be rather warm so
it doesnt clog the filters and injectors
up. My diesel escort has troubles in the winters,
I think some of the glow plugs are screwed up
though. I also have a 6.2 turbo diesel in
my suburban, which starts fine regardless of
temp. Heating the engine oil might not be the
best way to get it to start. Perhaps heating
the diesel at the filter is the way to go.
From what I understand, the reason you dont
get a good start is that the diesel is
getting too thick at those cold temps.
I guess I will try the heater on my escort
this year and see if it solves the problem. -Greg

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
