All diesels have issues with cold --- when it gets cold enough.

The truth is gasoline will pour well below even No.1 diesel.

So once you go below -20 there are all sorts of tricks needed.

Below -50F, you are looking at heating incoming air.

But nothing is unmanageable, even if it takes special Arctic blend diesel.

I speced my diesel to operate to -40F.
