It helps some. A cold engine compound with thick biodiesel causes really hard starts. A warm engine with thick biodiesel will start easier than a cold engine with thick biodiesel. But if the biodiesel is too thick you're going to be out of luck no matter what until you heat the fuel system. The filter and the fuel lines are the weak link for gelling BD. The tank usually isn't the problem unless it gets really cold for a sustain time. The block heater does nothing to alliviate the thick biodiesel issue.
Charlie, it tripped me up too. I posted almost the exact same thing twice now. I guess I should dig up that reciept.
