CNKS: Minus 40 is the same on both scales, I've only seen it twice in my lifetime. That was in Nova Scotia, once in 1956 and again in 1996. in 56 my dad and I hoped the 300 wouldn't start, although we did need it back at farmstead as snow was in the forcast. It did start and guess who got to drive it the half mile back to farmstead. In 1996, I wanted my 6.2 diesel to start and it wouldn't, cord to block heater was broken. The 6.2 had no oil leaks, thus I put a cast iron fry pan full of charcoal under the oil pan. By the time the charcoal burned out it started like summer. So there you have it, 6 volt starts at -40 and 12 volt doesn't. In Nova Scotia we quite regularly saw -30 F, -35 F quite unusual, -40 once every 40 years. I had a cousin stationed at Goose Bay with Canadian Air Force in the 40s, it's cold up there but not as cold as much of Canada on that same parallel. The old North Atlantic has quite and impact on east coast weather, takes all winter to cool it down and all summer the heat it up again. Falls are very nice dowm there, but we called spring 6 weeks of good sleding plus 6 weeks of rough sleding.
