[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jan 8, 2015 FCPS had to close unexpectedly when the buses would not start Jan 19, 2019 FCPS had a two hour delay when they anticipated that the buses would not start. (Announced the night before) Honest question - do we have better technology now? At what temperature is starting buses an actual issue? Are drivers reporting early to work to address any issues? [/quote] Starting a diesel engine when it is close to zero can be challenging without a block heater for the engine. However, there are winter-grade fuels that make starting diesel engines much easier. I would be surprised if FCPS is not using either block heaters or special winter fuels. I guess that we will find out tomorrow! I'm ready to drive my kids to school if needed. [/quote]
