At the fuel pumps make sure the pump hoses are not cracked torn corroded connected at both ends
Those things like to tear & squirt at you if you ain't watchin in these severe temps.
So check your hose... -.-... not that one....the fuel pump....

Bah Ha Ha!!!!
I spit Pepsi plum acrossed the street! That was funny! Thanks for the reminder! -
Are you saying we need to pretrip the fuel pump hose. Man on man. Heck I have been having problems finding stations with fuel pumps that work. Was in Aurora Ne, 2 out of the 6 or 7 pumps were working. I get to Gary IN. I don't know how many were working, but the lane that I got in. Wasn't working. Across the street at the Petro. Most of those pumps weren't working. So I kept heading east into Michigan. Was finally able to get fuel. Also was sent a message about a truck load of pilot and flying J's that were out of fuel.

Fuel haulers will move up until the point the roads become "real rough" with snow pack. At that point, that's their last load until it turns into mostly wet pavement.
-
yup if you think you can get even 50 gallons in then stop and get it, no telling whats happening further down the road
-
The crappy summer fuel you guys buy down south also gells off the pump filters.
-
Yup.
To run in the cold you need that yellow crap we get up here during the winter. Was fueling at the shop the other day and the fuel coming out of that tank looked more like mountain dew than fuel. -
I hauled fuel for a lot of years and now with ULS fuel our refineries in Edmonton put out clear fuel year round. Yellow/Green fuel used to signify summer fuel. ??

We have 5% bio in our #2 here in MN, and it has a green tint to it. #1 is much more clear.
-
The puddle of fuel on the ground might be a clue.
How is fuel I buy in Houston gonna gel up a pump filter in Gary? Funny guy.
