I went out to start both of my cars this morning, the temp said -18' C on the MB and 3' F on the VW. Both cars started without being plugged in. I wasn't sure about the MB, but after the second try at heating up the glow plugs, it slowly began to fire. Thank god for 5-40 oil and good glow plugs!! The temp. tonight has already dropped to near 0' F so I thought I would be nice to the 300SD and plug it in.
On a side note I have changed both of my fuel filters twice this week. I think that with all the extra power service I have added to the tank this week, it has cleaned out all the crap that has been building up in the tank over the last 19 years. This car came from Florida and I don't think it has ever had power service added to the fuel before this winter. It died on a trip to town the other day and I thought it was running like the filters were plugged up, and I was right. I stopped and purchased more filters today, don't want to be caught without a spare!!
Keep warm everyone!!!!!
