    Well, yes and no. While my BCs returned a lot of warm fuel, at night, when the fuel cooled off, condensation would form, usually freezing at the bottom. When warm fuel hit the ice, it turned to water, but froze before it got to the fuel heater.

    Make sure you add the additive while fueling, hence this will help with mixing the product with diesel and you'll have a nice blend. Almost gelled up in MN once, fuel filter light started coming off and on Luckily for me I was right by the terminal. Once I started additive while fueling I never had another issue again at all.
