I have a carrier apu I just leave it on battery monitor mode and set my timer to start and warm up the truck 2 hours before I intend to leave. I can usually get non biodiesel and rarely treat fuel. Unless -15 below or colder I usually fill up with treated fuel so no need for me to treat fuel. Truck starts just fine up to -25 in this situation.
Load test on batteries and do voltage drop test and clean all terminal 2 times a year . I run 3 DD15 engines and have yet to have a problem with any of the trucks starting even after a week of cold soakMidwest Trucker, Rideandrepair and GYPSY65 Thank this. -

I had a truck with treated fuel, and let it idle all night long. All was good until about 3 hours up the road to the north it was -10 with -30 windchill and the fuel was gel’ing up from just the tank to the engine. All of the cold air coming in the grill at that temp and above 60 mph just wouldn’t work. I had never had a truck go down while in the middle of operating.
So, warmer fuel in the tank with less air flow through the front was the solution for me.
