Bill: Here is an idea, but never use it on a gas engine and never use it on a diesel with any oil leaks. Get a cast iron fry pan, fill it with barbeque charcoal. Get it glowing good and place it under the oil pan at about 4". Before you do this add a bit of methyl hydrate to the fuel tank, just in case it is jelling.

If you have been trying to start the diesel some probably you would be well advised to hook jumpers to another vehicle. I did this once with a Chevy 6.2 diesel at -40, I had discovered my block heater cord was bad. About 15 min of this treatment it was like a summer start. BE AWARE OF OIL LEAKS,DON'T DO IT IF YOU HAVE ANY.
