Bob: No question Cliff is right, and believe me that is exactly what I did 90% of the time. I agree whole heartedly than no need of engines having that cold molasses treatment. Sometimes engines must be operated miles from any electricity and they have to start and start every day. Yes it costs and costs big money on cold weather starts on larger diesel. A friend of mine tried putting quick couplers on his pickup heater hoses and on the diesel. Two years later I asked how it worked. His responce fine if you want to replace pickup engines every year. One of the items I see quite regularly on this site is 25 year old tractors with little more than 8,000 hours on them. Where I come from some of these diesels are seeing 2,000 to 3,000 hours per year clocked on their meters and yes they damn well have to start. It must be great to be able to afford a big diesel and do little or next to nothing with it. Why you wouldn't even need to start it below freezing ever. And definately never away from electricity. May I remind you the guy wanted to know how cold these engines would start. I told him what I know.
