don't believe this, I lived in South Dakota... BRRRR. -90F... NOTHING will start gasoline turns into slush. you have to have TWO block heaters, and a fuel tank heater to start a car in this weather... a battery plate heater is usually required if it's too far away from the block to get some heat. my old massey furguson tractor was the only thing that would start in weather this cold. it had that tight perkins 4cyl 60HP motor with the fuel tank right on top of the block, and a large block heater, never had a problem starting that thing in cold SD winters... you know winters where the snow is frozen solid... NOTHING packs. snow falls like flour dust. anybody can walk on water in SD winters...
