FPPF polar power works great to keep from gelling if you can find it.
Or just get a gallon of gasoline and half it in each tank..add a lil octane, make it run a little hotter.
Well I ate my words on fuel additives this morning.

I really believe it is this bio diesel crap that creates the problem. I use to fuel in Grand forks or Fargo Nd and it was going to be 30 below that night and I would put 20 gallons of number 1 in each tank and fill the rest with number 2 go home shut truck off and plug in the block heater go out in the morning hit the starter and it would fire right up and never miss a beat other than it took awhile to get the oil pressure to come up. Last winter I gelled up twice and it is like what the f as one time I fueled up and didn't even get out of the truckstop in Wisconsin and there I sat. I have never been a fan of buying fuel additives but it seems like you have to now.
whoopNride, Odin's Rabid Dog, Doealex and 1 other person Thank this. -
That was one thing I liked about running Canada. Buy fuel up there and you have nothing to worry about. And we always had Canadian fuel at our tank at the yard. -
