I have had to heat injector lines with a propane torch in chicago to get engines running, works pretty well.
We had a bullet heater on an 8V71 for hours and it still wouldnt start, even with ether and pouring some gas down the blower, found out the mains were spun 1/4 inch into the caps, and the rings were toast. Actually the whole engine was toast,, ahhh the good ol days of winter in chicago at Ohare.

I was under the impression the Cummins had the grid heater, cause our 01 PSD doesnt have one either

the stroker heater will burn out without airflow to cool it. I was going to put one in today but it burnt up during testing.
