Re: Diesel Liberty Engine Block Heater
But IIRC you have some supermarkets that you can plug into as well ?
Beats lighting a fire under your diesel sump :-)
I remember changing some gearbox oil one winter - was only about -5C and the
oil had the consistency of jelly.
In the end I had to heat it up in one of mum's old saucepans before it would
flow ( yes, I got into trouble !).

I have done that. I used a Coleman Peak 1 backpacking stove.
Usually internal combustion engines stay warm enough to restart for an hour
or two. Overnight is the bad time.

Synthetic oils address this problem. Do you really want to drive off, with
the transmission and rear axle full of jelly?
