    Fuel additive nessesary?

    I didn't pay enough attention to the weather before I came to work for the weekend. It's supposed to get down to 5 degrees tonight and I didn't add my normal anti gel additive that I usually do for the winter yet. I will not be starting it till Monday morning and it's supposed to be in the 20's then. Did I screw myself by not adding the anti gel or should I be ok if I get some additive in tomorrow?

    I guess I should have elaborated. The stock fuel system has a fuel heater that is supposed to prevent gelling. I suggest you let the truck warm up a bit first. That will give the warmer fuel time to circulate into the tank and warm up the fuel a bit. It's not much, but it's a help.

    Wally World or NAPA is on the way home right? (Hint)
