Default Re: cold weather start

Some farmers would have a cow manure trench / pit that they would park the car or tractor directly over. The steaming heat coming off of the composting manure with some blankets thrown over the engine area to capture the heat wouid help get it started on those cold mornings. Or maybe it was just the methane gas from the manure would act like starter fluid....... I have personally seen this many years ago so I know it is not BS....
