Dude, you are just p i s s i n g money away. Let the Tri-Pac do it's thing, and if it gets that cold install a block heater and when it is -10 run the truck. And get some fuel additive, I like PowerService, dump a 1/2 gallon in each tank when BRUTALLY cold.
If you are making $2000 a week going around the corner, what the hell are you worried about? the tax right off?
And if you are gelling, find a new place to fuel
Fuel tank and filter warmers?

My fuel water separator has a heating element, I think, there's wires in it, but it's not a DAVCO. Cummins ISX in my Cascadia. It might be plummed to the tri pac. I still haven't figured out how to run the tri pac by itself, without turning on the ac, so it works as a block heater.
The only time it turns on when the bunk heater is running, is when they batteries dip below a certain point I presume, and then it only runs for maybe 10 minutes,
I'd love to be able to run it all night if it would. -

@Justrucking2
Im heading to Albany NY on Sat afternoon. I picked up 3 jugs of Lucas Anti-gel Treatment. My truck has 175gals tanks (total). Im thinking of fueling up in PA (driving from VA), to get the cold weather fuel then dump a whole jug of this to the 175gals.
Think that will work?
Imma wrap my fuel filters in heavy fleace socks, and wrap them in sheet foil to keep them warm. <--- is this too crazy...lol -
Albany is warm compared where I am in Burlington, VT. I relayed a fedex trailer this morning to Albany. It was -10 degrees in Burlington, VT....20 degrees in Albany, NY
-
I'm arriving there late evening, and have to do my 10hrs break. Looked at the weather tonite, says -3°...so, it's either a motel + plug it in, or idle all night
