    Yer going to laugh l, but do this. Yer fuel in your tanks is fairly warm already from being pressurized and ran through the hot head. It only cools to the point of gelling when it hits the primary filter. The cold air blowing on the canister of the filter. Take a heavy wool sock and slip over the filter then slip a plastic bag over that use a zip tie to hold it on. That will keep the heat from the fuel from disapating and keep the cold air from hitting the filter. I've done this for years in -20 or colder with no gelling........of course a good fuel additive helps as well !

    Oh, I need to clarify to the strokers. That $78300, I dumbed it down for you all so there wasn't any confusion. It was actually 78344.05. I figured I'd round it down so it wouldn't hurt their heads.

    You can also pick up a package of foam pipe insulators at a home hardware and insulate the suction line from the tank to the filter for the winter.
    Feel the tank after running for a couple hours,you will find it almost warm to the touch.

    It popular in the northwest. They slice the tread from side to side bout every half inch all the way around. Gives better grip.

    Sipeing is a process of extra cuts to the treads of your tires to allow more flex and therefore better grip on Icy surfaces. It works great in winter but will cause somewhat faster wear during hot weather.

    Also popular in a dirt track racer. Forward bite is the game, not longevity. But need to finish. You actually tune your tires to the track. Control your wheel speed. Wet, slicked, glazed, dry aint just sex terms. Hate to even explain tire stagger on this site.
