    HWY why don't you have the records? I'm confused. Did you just start operating? I'll help if I can. Need some details from you. PM me.

    Ya know there has to be that one lucky driver who transports stuff around say the Grand Cayman Islands or Hawaii with an avg. 85 degrees year around.

    Ehhh then again, it may be behind mule. Nevermind. ;)

    Was 5 this morning, now up to 28. Sure glad its getting back to average before I get out there. Not sure what anti-gel to use and where here to get winter blend. Guess I'll put 100 gls and get to midwest for the winter blend.

    Anyone used the Lucas anti-gel?

    I use Howells. I run Michigan every week. Seems to work for me so I have stuck with it. We buy it by the case. It is a little cheaper that way. It costs around $15 dollars at truck stops. 1 gal. treats around 300 gallons.

    I use stanadyne. Buy it by the case from my local injector shop. Used howes before that. Probably go back to howes since I really can't see a specific difference in the stanadyne. And its more exspensive than Lucas. :biggrin_2552: Although I will still use it occasionally since I know it cleans injectors real well.



    Since I'm in the hopper thread ....... Can I get 60 mo financing on a 2000 trailer? I've been told that 30 months would be the max...Any truth to this?
