My POW (place of work) installed an outdoor outlet for me...now we have 4 employees with MB diesels and have to fight over the 2 outlets - look at the problems I caused for myself by converting them! Once the engine is hot, it takes a while to chill down to the point that it is hard to start, although when it gets REALLY cold, it chills pretty quickly. In Canada, there are outlets at supermarkets, McDonald's - all over, for the gas cars too.

I am expecting to not be able to use the thing when it gets very cold (until I get a block heater). The indy that installed my new (used) engine said that he removed, anti-siezed, and replaced the plug that accepts the factory heater. Thing that gets me is that the heater will benefit me at home, but if I take a trip somewhere, even to work let's say, and there is no plug in (which there won't be in most cases) I've got no heater and thus no start most likely. We don't plan on using the 240 in the winter if we can help it anyway. But there WILL inevitably be occasions when we must. Thanks Brian 83 240D Chris wrote: BTW, WHERE are you? If it is regularly below freezing in winter...IA or north, even its nice in MO, GET A BLOCK HEATER AND FORGET ABOUT ALL THE OTHER GIZMOS - UNLESS it';s REALLY REALLY cold where you live, you don't need in-line fuel heaters, in-line coolant heaters and a block heater. That's for North Dakota and Alaska...maybe Minnesota, _______________________________________ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net Christopher McCann, Squier Park, Kansas City, Missouri -2005 Blue Point Siamese, "Rose" -1992 Volkswagen Golf, diesel, 185K km, "Nanook" -1987 300TD, 151K, "Rotkäppchen" -1985 300SD, 212K, "Wulf" -1976 240D, ?K, "AKP-Wagen" (Alternativen Kraftstoffs Prüfenlastwagen) -1972 Jacobsen 21" Turbo Vent -1971 Case 222 Hydrive, 12HP Kohler, 38" deck, Snowcaster, "One Banger" --------------------------------- Yahoo!
