    Some one told me you can mix a quart of gasoline in 100 gal of diesel. But I wouldn't try it.

    You can but don't put to much because it makes your motor run to hot and could seize. Only would do it if last resort like stranded and emergancy use.

    "Minus 19" is not a number, a verb cannot be a number

    the correct term is "negative 19"

    the reason the fuel gelled up is 1) it was like -20 2) I selfishly got a hotel room since I had a good 14-15 hours to kill, I got a hotel room so I can get warm, watch TV, take a shower, etc etc. the next morning the truck was frozen because I got a hotel room

    I learned my lesson. don't be so selfish

    Well you're sufficiently crusty and old, we were honestly waiting for someone of your stature to weigh in...this does nothing!

    Fat chicks come and rub their massive boobies all over your truck causing friction creating the heat to thaw out your truck in the building.
