CT Maybury,
That is neat, I had looked into a manual shutoff for my DB2 but I had a hard time locating anything. It will be a learning experience for me with the diesel in cold weather, don’t really know what to expect yet. Below 20 would be unusually cold for Tennessee, so I am hoping to not need much. I know some of the newer diesels have intake grid heaters, wouldn’t have the warm engine benefits of the block heater, but might help get it started in a bitter cold situation.
