I had an old 300D Benz for 10 years and all of these tips I used with some success. Below 14 Deg F the fuel tended to get stuck in the filter. I used an additive, but 25% Kerosene works just as well.

One time I was on vacation in Yellowstone and the temps dropped below freezing in the summer! The old Benz would not start and I was not prepared to deal with the cold. I ended up boiling water on a camp stove, pouring it over the engine head near the glow plugs and the damn thing started!
