I used to be chairman of a municipal electric utility.
We always ran electric heaters in the oil tanks for Fairbanks OP 12 cylinder 24 piston turbo/supercharged 2 stroke diesel motors. The tanks held 250 gallons of oil. It allowed the motors to come up to full power in 20 minutes vs a 2 hour warm up time with cold oil.
