Paper presents enumeration of problems facing cold-weather diesel engine operation, and resume of tests that have been of value in handling these problems; simple 25 amp wiring arrangement, plugged into 110 v outlet at terminal before truck's daily run, activates series of immersion heating elements which will raise engine, radiator, battery, and fuel in tanks to summer starting temperatures; results will be elimination of cold-weather downtime in ambients of as low as -40 F, and assurance of normal battery life, without addition of any maintenance items such as plumbing or hosing systems.
