Can someone explain what exactly happens when diesel fuel gels up

Yeah, but...

...Bossman's did my last PM. I'm NOT impressed. About two weeks ago after idling overnight I woke up to find a major oil leak under my truck. It turns out they failed to tighten the oil filter. The TA tech in OKC spun it off with his hand. Seven gallons of oil all over the parking lot. Thankfully the TA was able to throw down kitty litter and shovel it up before it seeped beyond my trailer.

Always take the Koolaide with a grain of salt. All truck shops have great mechanics and less than great mechanics. Double check their work.

 

I've used blended #1 and #2.
#2 and power service anti-gell or
#2 with power service 911.
Early in my career, I had old wrenches use any fluid with an oil base. These N14 motors can take a lot of abuse.

 

Bossman does it for injector cleaner. And prime.

 

At the rate I see these noobs parking at fuel islands I think it gells at the pump !

 

this is treated #2 fuel.. I've had zero luck with treating #2. I've used gallons of the 911 trying to get diesels running with little luck.

If you add treatment to full tanks of freezing diesel it won't mix unless engine is running and returning fuel. Always add treatment when fueling.

 

ERM... no. Please don't Find something else if you must.

Then again it's the boss man doing it, not you thankfully.

 

Im getting sick of that. Don't mind me about noobs clogging and gelling the fuel lines in the truckstop.... It's upsetting that they are so lazy. It's nothing at all to shoehorn a big truck into a proper parking spot in one move.

 

Now THAT'S gellin!

 

Atf makes a great cleaner and is actually better then oil at cleaning but can't take the heat and abuse that oil can.

I've used it in my own oil and gas.

There used to be a couple of members posting of dumping 1 gallon in each tank. Once a month. Long time ago.

 

I appreciate you giving me food for thought.
