    How's Your Fuel Doing?

    Quite the cold snap across much of the US.

    Surprised I haven't seen much for gel problems.

    My truck took a ride on the hook to a warm garage for 12 hours to thaw.

    I was blended well with more than enough howes additive.

    I should send them my tow bill to see how their guarantee no gel is, LOL.

    The JUDGE gets to spend most of her time within a 38*F or 45*F garage during these winter months.

    But spends at least 12hrs exposed to the elements when I'm at work.

    The last few nights at work the temps had dropped down to (Feels Like) -20 t0 -27*F --> Wind Chill
    This photo below was just taken from my phone - garage is showing 37*F.

    No issues so far - Shell Diesel along with (6oz Alliant Power - UltraGuard & 6oz Hot Shots Secret - Winter Blend). - Small Investment & Piece of Mind.

    Good Thing was - Weather Channel gave the whole country 5 days warning of this storm - so I had time to add the above additives to a full tank before the temps dropped below 40*F.
    The wife is a Office Mgr for a large drilling company & this morning they had 5 of their diesel trucks Gel up either on location or at the house - due to none of them added any diesel additive - the only Duramax that didn't Gel was the supervisors who added additive to his 50gal transfer & main tanks.

    Yeah I'm not gonna reveal what's in my tank now LOL.

    I'm guessing the fuel system is begging for some lubricant, but it was still liquid today.

    No issues here.

    I run Howes in mine in addition to the additives in the fuel around here.

    I hadn't gelled a pickup in 15 years, and this one the other the day was bad.

    I've since heard that the local diesel has switched to bean fuel.

    Now that makes perfect sense as it waxes much easier.

    Re: How's Your Fuel Doing?

    I had coughing problems yesterday.

    Stalled once.

    I always run one bottle of Stanadyne, but did not do enough I suppose.

    Poured another bottle in never had an issue the rest of the day.

    I haven't had a problem in the -10 range in Wisconsin this last week.

    I don't even run a winter additive.

    Just winter fuel straight from the pump at Kwik Trip and regular Archoil 6200 (not an anti-gel).
