Dear Gumpon Sorry, I haven't been around much the last day or so. I think Ken gave you some good advice. What does Michael say, have you asked him? You surprise me, I didn't know temperatures got that low in Thailand, certainly not when I've been there. I seasonal problem? - and should it be over soon until next year? Maybe if you can survive the next couple of weeks you'll have time to find a good solution. Meanwhile, pre-heating? - it sounds like you need something like a really big VEG-Therm. See http://www.biofuels.ca/ Or a tank heater. Possible? Regards Keith (Do you have any photographs of the locomotive, Gumpon?)
