C.A.V. is the manufacturer of most fuel systems supplied on british built engines, Perkins included. I believe the engine you have is one of the older design brit Perkins, so it should have a CAV system. You should be able to add a thermostart unit to the manifold. I don't know if Perkins used them but Ford did extensively. All this thing does is use a bit of fuel to build a fire in the manifold and warm the intake air. They're quite effective at starting these old engines. I've had the Fords start at around -20 celcius in a pinch when a block heater died or power was off. It should help the Perkins just as well. If it's below -20 you probably don't want to be out on it anyway... Block heater will help them to at least -30 C. I don't know beyond that. I've never experienced worse.
