Our FBO (who are otherwise OK people) have a new policy. They will not allow one to leave one's airplane's preheater plugged in continously. Instead, one must call them ahead of time and they will plug it in for you. They charge $10 for this service. My questions are this: How long does it take to pre-heat an engine? And will pre-heating my engine prevent more than $10 of damage per flight? Finally, how do you know? It's more reassuring to here from a mechanic than some tale that starts "My grandfather's uncle noticed ..." I suggest you join the Cessna Pilot's Association and send them a question about this issue. John Frank has done some research on this subject. The damage caused from a single start in really cold weather is quite amazing.
