C.A.V. is the manufacturer of most fuel systems supplied on british built engines, Perkins included.

I don't know if Perkins used them but Ford did extensively. All this thing does is use a bit of fuel to build a fire in the manifold and warm the intake air.

If it's below -20 you probably don't want to be out on it anyway... Block heater will help them to at least -30 C. I don't know beyond that. I've never experienced worse.
