Hugh, The military uses a lot of those diesel fired circulating pumps. They were designed to draw very low current from the batteries. The
test temp was -50 F & most vehicles started at this temp. The Soviets used what looked like a mini boiler. It was gasoline fired and this vehicle had twin 6 cylinder engines. The boiler heated the coolant and they had the oil pan shrouded with sheetmetal to let the exhaust heat
warm the oil. With 10 minutes of heat at -65 F
both engines would start like summertime. Hal
