Dennis, you reminded me I forgot to plug in my diesel! Grrr... Nothing but
delays. One of the glow plugs is out, so gets grumpy below 70 and will not
start below 50. It is 55 inside the home, and about 50 outside, so winter
has come to the valley. I miss the warm weather, as I too don't like below
70... Gets a bit uncomfortable when over 110, but only for about a month. I
rather have the monsoon weather, as can dehumidify.

I have been meaning to order a oil heater, and this discussion reminded me
of it. I wonder if one did that Adney and Dennis could have just gone about
there ways? Only issue I see is the heater have to fit into the original
pan, and wouldn't work on the small filter sumps. Also, it is glued on, so
might get in the way. Just a thought...


Thank you,
Adriel

plug.
