Well I ate my words on fuel additives this morning.

I run Schaeffer products in my fuel and have no problems.as for the fuel filters just stick a winter beanie hat over the filters and zip tie them.cheap way to keep them from freezing.

 

I never had problem with the yellow fuel . I always thought the yellow stuff was treated since it is always yellow up north and green was un treated and down south. Unless i am colorblind

 

The fuel does tend to be yellow in the north. When it looks whitish, that's when my mind starts wandering. I think I was in South Carolina at Pilot last week when I noticed it to be whitish as it was pumping. I hurried up and burned it. Then got fuel in Illinois the next time. It's always yellow in Illinois

 

I could be wrong, but I thought since paraffin is the stuff that makes diesel gel, and paraffin is white, and yellow color is closer to white, than green... yellow diesel has more paraffin in it than green

 

Water/ice is as big a problem as gelling fuel when the cold snap first hits......

 

Isn’t water getting caught at the water separator though?

 

Also, since paraffin doesn’t burn, but rather melt, it’s BTU is zero. So green diesel (less or 0 ethanol) has higher BTU.

 

Good Morning Y'all, Hope everybody is staying warm. That wind chill here this morning had it feeling like about 60 degrees down from about 62 or so. Now it's 74 with a 17mph wind.

 

That’s one of the places it freezes..... while the truck is shut off.
