What temp idle to prevent gelling?

10 deg or below idle it....I put no more than 1/2 gallon unleaded gasoline per 100 gallons diesel into each tank instead of expensive power service or other brands & it works just fine as an anti gel...

 

I am thinking it is.....

For that matter, may as well just tell people that at 32 F you have to idle your truck and the sky is green and falling.

 

What is up with the rudeness of some members?

 

Meant the other one, (Rolly) Ghost Ryder posted about the same time as I did.

 

Because some of the "disinformation" is incredible.

 

What 'disinformation' would that be? You can correct someone and be polite at the same time.

BTW, #2 diesel does start to solidify at 32°F. It gels at 15°F. Which is why most people will tell you to idle from 20°F below to prevent the fuel from gelling.

 

Did you READ the links that I attached?

And then you come and say,

I quit driving full time in 97, stayed half in touch through the guard and what they did with JP8. Got back into driving in Mar last year.

With all the changes, I learned really quick that the ONE constant in trucking, is truckstop information (and I consider this really close to it) is suspect until confirmed.

I have never simply said, "this is how something is." without having the knowledge, reference or some other reputable documentation to support it. And even THEN, I find cross references to the information as well.

sounds good, may even be accurate, but you have to admit a slight biased, no?

 

Did you not read my post? #2 diesel wasn't commonplace in '97, and it's a different fuel due to the low sulfur. You were out of the game for 15 years. Better catch up on times before you call someone out on 'disinformation'.
