When it's TOO COLD to start or run...

FYI, you guys do know you can ungel a truck with power service diesel 9-1-1 right? the RED bottle. just follow directions on bottle. needs 3 bottles at $20 a bottle if you have 200 gallons of fuel (fill fuel filters half and half with 911 and diesel, and put one bottle per 100 gallons in the tanks...)...what i dont get is when i see people use this stuff as an antigel. it says RIGHT ON THE BOTTLE that it does not PREVENT gel-ups, it only UNgels........hah. I doubt any of you guys are using it improperly, but i wonder if some of the stories about other people being posted here have anything to do with that one...? Power Service also makes "Diesel Kleen" which is a SUMMER additive, and is made to clean injectors and increase fuel milage (supposedly), and does not claim to be an antigel. Yet i see it flying off the shelves at truck stops even though you need antigel...lol.

FYI insider info: Werner tested a bunch of antigel additives by mixing diesel in milk jugs and putting them in a reefer at -20F basically.....and then pouring them into a jar through filter media and timing how long it took to fill the jar or clog the filter... Some of the additives did nothing at that temperature over untreated fuel. They chose Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement (the white bottle) based on the results. Now, I'm guessing it wasnt *the* best, and that the price of it had something to do with it...costs about $10 a bottle without buying in bulk. One bottle treats 100 gallons. They wont tell us which ones failed the test though.

Gears, just get a frozen load. Then you wont need it to run.....hahahaha.

 

Howes doesn't work real good with the new ULSD. you have to double treat it and that's getting upwards of two larg bottles for a fill up. Which is very spendy. I use it in the reefer and just don't shut my truck off.

Lucas now has an antigel out they claim works best with the ULSD. I haven't tried it yet, has anyone else?

 

How big of a fan do we need to move this cold garbage back to where it came from? Already had enough of these temps!

 

My company uses stuff called flomax. It works in our trucks real good at least up to -25 that I know for sure. One quart treats 200 gallons, but they buy it in bulk not sure where you can find it.
