Block Heater for E 450 2002
Newbe here. I have a Ford E450 year 2002. It was purchased in IOWA and built up as a mobile showroom that I use in my business. The last unit I had had an electric chord that could be plugged in during cold months for easy start. I have let the truck sit for the past 3 weeks without starting it. I did not put in any cold jell fluid and there is only a 1/4 of a tank of gas in it. Naturally this morning I could not start it. I have looked everywhere for the plug and can not find it. I called a Ford dealer and he told me that it was an OPTION. But yet when you look at the Ford site it is automatically installed in a number of states and Iowa is one of them. We are in Tennessee. If it is not in the truck can I purchase a heater.......Not good at mechanics is it easy to install and is there a site to show me how to do it. Thanks so much for taking the time for reading my ramblings.

Moved from 2011 F100 forum. 
You said it has a 1/4 tank of gas, so I'm presuming you have a V10 and not a 7.3 PSD. Anyway I think your post will do better here than in the van forum.

Yeah, you are probably right, redford. After rereading the OP he is talking about fuel pour-point suppressant. My first read thought he was talking jelled lube oil that wouldn't let the starter turn over the engine.
