Actually, I personally thought my time would be closer to your's. I doubted it would be less than 20 minutes, but I had no idea that after over half an hour it wouldn't even get near operating temperature. Yes, it was 5 degrees C colder than in your test, but after 17 minutes your engine was 98°C over abmient, while mine was only 55°C over

Diesel efficiency or not, this tank ain't gonna break no records All in the name of science, they say...
