    Hello fellow drivers, I've been on this trucking tip and it's been 6 years now.
    Weather now has been really bad and I was passing by Longlac ONTARIO.
    When I parked for a sec and tried to restart the truck, it wouldn't start.
    So I had to tow... and ended up at this place called Ray & Doris truck stop.
    The guy at the repair told me it would take them a night to touch my truck.
    So I stayed at a motel and next morning I went.
    They told me the diesel crystallized... and the owner had 350 L of diesel all taken out....
    The owner was saying that my truck would stop in 20 miles if he had put the diesel back in my truck.
    But since I'm an owner operator, I told him it would be my responsibility and told him to put the diesel back again.
    He just wouldn't do it and this ****** said that I had 2 choices. Either I drive the truck out myself (no fuel in it... wtf?) or he would use his tow truck to take it out of his shop...
    They said that there was a problem in Shell's diesel and now I'm trying to reach out to Shell....
    I am really confused and want your opinion on it because I know a lot of experienced Sirs out here.
    Could there been a problem in the fuel or is the owner of the repair shop just trying to thieve my fuel?
    What should I do now....
    Fellow brothers and sisters , help

    You're fuel might be gelling up. Tell him to add a can of Polar Fuel Conditioner or some Kerosene.


    Where did you last fuel up before getting to Long Lac????

    In the winter, that's a life saver. Never leave home without it.

    Something wrong with this picture.
    A an owner operator in Canada who doesn't know about seasonal fuel, a truck "mechanic" who doesn't know about seasonal fuel. OR there really is way way too much wax in a batch of fuel, which should mean that their is a line up of gelled trucks. I run treated summer fuel all year if I can fill at my own tank. New filters and a can of conditioner in each tank and you should be good to go OR the fuel vendor should be there (if you bought the fuel in Canada) with a re supply of functional fuel IF they screwed up (if you just bought the fuel in the last month)
