👴"Back in my day, we didn't have block heaters!"🤣 Actually, some of the old-timers around here have talked about how their parents drained the oil from the automobile engines each night & kept it in metal cannisters next to the fireplace. In the mornings, the warm motor oil was poured back into the engines & they fired right up.

Back in the 70's, my late father for his old Triumph Herald 13/60 borrowed from British Rail a kerosene points motor heater which on the railways were put under the various bits of the points prone to freezing keeping them warm and he would set it up about an hour or so before going to work and he never missed a day because of it. He used to leave the warmer on inside the garage whilst us in the house froze with the only heat from a tiny gas fire so we used to go stand in the warm garage lol He used to mix his own antifreeze, he got some nasty smelly stuff from British Rail used for anti-freezing in Scottish diesel's and mixed it with his usual stuff.

The antifreeze method should be done only if you have the same coolant in each car. More modern engines with aluminium or different alloy in the engine block use specific coolant for each.

In severe weather we used to park our 'important' equipment in front of the exhaust fans of our grain dryer, then on a cold morning we'd fire up the grain dryer and go off the feed the livestock. By the time we were done, those cold machines were nicely warm enough to start. Particularly useful in 1977 and '78 - That was a good old 'Almet' four decker/twin fan grain dryer, so only the small one of the range. Ran on diesel fuel, but guzzled about 7 gph! Saved us a lot of time and work, though.....

The flame draws in air like a jet engine and produces a good flow of HOT air with no blower needed . Close the hood and give it 30 minutes.NOTE : propane does not atomize into gas well in vary cold temperatures, ALWAYS use a FULL propane tank and if at all possible warm it up , or keep it inside until you start your day. Varry safe as the flame is not under the motor and any possible leaking oil or fuel. Ontario Canada .

Hi guys, I love your experiments and I have a ideea for you to try. I wanted to make a while ago a heat exchanger from the exhaust to the antifreeze small circuit (heater core and engine) like the EGR cooler but without restrictions of gases. I've seen it done on stoves exhaust with a copper pipe in serpentine form. The ideea is to quickly heat the engine at the operating temp for diesel engines and the overtemp scenario being coverd by a electro-valve before the heating area and two bi-metal termostats (for backup) controling the supply of valve. Ofcourse this additional antifreeze circuit must be in paralel with the original one in sort of bypass OR in series with second electro-valve which cuts the factory circuit. I am aware that there already are some glowplugs blocks for this purpose but they might kill a cold battery and alternator for home to work short distances. This heat exchanger with exhaust gases has no disadvantages and can be used all the time of the year for maximize engine performante, life and fuel economy. The supply from the battery to the valves must go thrue a rellay which will be energized by the ignition (KL15) signal. I know it sounds simple but the serpentine might me a issue concerning the coil diameter and pipe diameter not to be colapsed and not to restrict coolant flow too much. I would have done it my self but I don't have the time and the place to "wrap" the exhaust pipe in this cold weather. I hope to see you do it ! From Romania with love

That was all pretty clever. Dryer vent hose for the first one. A Lada performing a "transfusion" with a Toyota. ha ha ha Hope they have compatible coolants. "Charcoal" for the third one. If you used actual coal, something would be sure to melt. I've heard some stories about people using coal instead of wood and the results were amusing (to listen to). Sunshine works in mild cases. I had to start my lawn mower yesterday (0C / 32F) I always worry about damaging the engine in cold weather since I run straight SAE30 oil. I let the mower set in the sunshine for a few hours and it started without problem. I'll never complain about starting our cars, since the coldest we see is about 5F (-15C). Good old starting fluid, but my brother told me you use that on a modern diesel and it will blow the (plastic) manifold apart. Seems they now have a huge electric resistance heating element in the intake to heat the incoming air charge in cold weather. The starting fluid hits that and "BOOM". I always enjoy these videos. "107%" effective, I'll have to add that to my "set it to 11".

He also informed me that it was running really rough and he hadn't driven in it in like a month, and had been getting rides to work. Getting there the battery of course was dead, so I but my jumper cables on, and went inside his place for like 20 minutes while my car charged his battery. Going back out side I tried starting his car and it was turning over and sputter but would not stay running, after about 15 minutes of freezing my ass off I had an idea. I borrow is girl friends hairdryer and an extension cord. Luckily he was parked close to an outside outlet by the garages, and cranked it high and just left it pointed at the engine block and went inside for about 10 minutes. came back out and another 15 minutes of it sputtering running for a little bit longer and dying, it finally kept running but was running super rough like it was running on only two cylinders. Later he told me a shop said two coil packs had gone bad, so yes it was running on only two cylinders.

Never thought to use the exhaust of another engine or coolant fluid.

I've seen heating elements inside radiators in Canada where they plug the car in, sounds like a good idea to me. : )

Another method is putting a PAR64 or other high-wattage lamp underneath the car, aimed at the underside of the block. Never tried it myself, though.

You get used to it. When I lived in south africa I felt cold at +15. Now living in Siberia and I only complain about it being cold when it starts going past -20. But I'm more than capable of surviving outside at -40 no worries.

My father in law has a Lada, my wife a peugeot 307 and I have a VW Jetta MK4. Guess which car always starts in -30/-40 celsius weather? Mine, the Jetta. Peugeot and Lada never start.

Hot coals under the engine works great, just make sure your engine isn't leaking too much oil or fuel, otherwise you could have a slight problem in your hands.

My grandpa grew up on a farm in rural Ontario, he told me they would light a fire under the model T in the winter to start it on especially cold days, horses were preferred by the the old timers then "20s 30s" for that and other reasons
