i don't add anti gel until it drops to 0 then treat and I'm in Minnesota. The only time I have problems is below zero.

I notice we change fuel filters more often using Loves fuel.

No its not hydroscopic but if you have an older truck and have never used it have extra fuel filters on hand as it a great solvent and if you have any crud or shalac build up in your tanks or lines it will clean it out and plug up your filters. Not a bad thing unless a filter plugs and you don't have a spare.

I have no problem with bio, other than the gelling in cold weather. I just think the market should decide, not mandated by government.
While we are on the subject, ethanol in gas is awful. Fuel mileage goes down, it sucks up water, destroys rubber parts, and goes stale very quick. It also takes more energy to make ethanol fuel than it produces. All in the world it does is help corn farmers.gokiddogo and bowhunter67 Thank this.
