    I've had bad luck with Howes myself. Froze going down the road in VT, -12 temps and pretty stiff winds. Winter blend fuel, too. Power Service got it going again and kept it running so I think I'll stick with it. Heard a few other negative comments about Howes from some other locals, too.

    Howe's gets just as cloudy as diesel fuel does when it gets cold.

    Easiest way to see the difference, is put a bottle of Howes and Power Service outside when it's -10 overnite......
    After seeing how thick the Howes gets,you will never put it in your tanks again... 'Nuff said....

    I quit using Howe's a couple of years ago, switched back to Power Service.
