[MBZ] Block Heater

How warm does a block heater in a W123 heat up to? I plugged in my diesel overnight (~ 28F) and it fired up immediately, while it takes coaxing on a warm day without the heater. Tim 1982 300TD 1991 300TE 4Matic

But you CAN operate it very well and much more economically on a timer. For 4 winters in the MI UP, I flipped on the breaker for my block heater and a small elec. cabin heater in my Dodge van when I'd get up; an hour later, engine and the cabin were nice and warm, and all windows were ice free.

The block heater puts out a steady output of heat. Most block heaters use 750 watts, and that can be translated into an average number of BTUs or calories. After a period of time, the water temp in the engine reaches a steady state (SS), where the heat input equals the heat loss. This SS tem
