Interested in what members here use to keep the oil and engine block warm on their gen sets during winter months?
My generator is a MEP-003. Run monthly under load and professionally hard wired to house electrical system.
On concrete pad next to house and always covered with a canvas tarp. Yes, I have several propane handheld torches and a propane weed burner if needed. But would prefer to keep oil warmed ahead of time so no standing around in a blizzard trying to start. Usually starts without issue until it drops below zero. Then it is a bit of a struggle. Never tried it below -10 our so if memory serves correctly.
I'm trying to decide between an oil dipstick style or a blanket style that attaches to oil pan. What brands/models do you recommend?
