Use Diesel Treatment in Cold Weather!!

Curious, What is the procedure to get that truck running, If your gelled up road side. I've had gelled fuel with my N14, I would put in 611in the tank. FIll the filter with powerserve and the pump would self prime.
My newer DD15 I'm not sure how to fix if gelled. The fuel line and tank would be gelled also, I presume. Put 611 in tank then change filter, prime by hand would be difficult.
Is the only solution to have the truck towed and thawed out inside a building or tarped and use a torpedo heater?

 

-18 don't shut off

 

tarp and torpedo can work

 

If it was forecast to get down to -18 I’d run #1 before I waste money on additives. If the place you’re buying fuel from isn’t blending with #1 and is only getting cold flow improver from the rack then it’s only good down to about zero. Also there is such a thing as using too much additive and having clogged filters v

 

I love the fuel up here in the north. Never seen it gel, no additives needed.

 

This is what I meant to say The red bottle 911. Problem with my tanks. I can't see inside thru the anti-siphon sleeve in tank. Was guessing about condition of fuel . -25. Thankfully it started fine.

 

#1 is not always a solution. I got a 75/25 #1/#2 blend in my lonestar and 100% in my ram, my landlord got pure #1 in both his trucks and so on. We all gelled. Just use additive regardless. Cheaper then ruined filters. Tbh im wondering if the #1 aint some new cheaper or epa friendly blend now.

as for getting it started on the road. 5 gallon bucket, filter wrenches, a bottle of 911 into the tank if the tanks are gelled. And a bottle or 2 of howes to backfill the filters with (howes is safe to fill filters with since its mostly diesel, just dont pull the filter plug before you fill so its still filtered and pull plug before you install). Also be careful with the 911, if you overtreat it can actully CAUSE gelling issues.
