    Same stuff I use, bought a case of it for this winter, found it cheap on the internet. Good to stock up on the stuff. My gut was correct on this winter and the temps, I wish I would have been wrong.

    # 1 diesel or treating your fuel is soooooo much cheaper than having a truck towed. Error on the side of caution.

    You might end up having to use #1 because the #2 pumps are frozen. Never go below half a tank either. You just don't know when you'll end up in a snow drift for eleven hours

    I don't buy into that never go below 1/2
    Has never been an issue for me
    Maybe I'm just lucky

    I play the fuel weight game all year

    I've only seen a few places where the fuel pumps have two separate hoses. Don't most places blend #1 and #2?
