Where do you park it and plug it in?

Another option is to talk to local trucking cos, in the Reading area. You may be able to work out some parking arrangement with them, since you need to plug in.
Just wondering why you need to plug in, I have never plugged in and the trucks have always started up quickly. Worst case scenario, give it a small shot of ether and go!

 

Gelling is when the parrafin (wax) in the diesel partially solidifies into (you guessed it) Gel, plugging up lines and clogging fuel filters.
The last co. I drove for would reimburse us for FPPF, an additive that is supposed to prevent gelling. So I would add it and keep going, and never plug it in. Now, LSD (Low Sulfur Diesel) wouldn't gel unless it got REAL cold (think Fargo in winter); ULSD (Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel) is a newer thing, so we will see what happens this winter. But the only problem I have heard of is with BIODIESEL; that seems to want to gel at much lower temps (around 10-15 Deg F).

 

Well, from what I have read and heard, ULSD should be like LSD, at least as far as gel point is concerned. But Biodiesel supposedly gels at warmer temps, getting cloudy around 10-20 Deg F.

 

Talk to a local truck dealership. Sometimes they will help a fellow local out and give you a place to park your rig at the back of their dealership.

 

ULSD has a higher gel point compared to LSD. Many truckers found this out last year when they gelled up at temps not normally using the anti gel.

 

Can you plug and park in truck stops? I've never seen plugs at the Flying J or Pilot, for example, and I know it's darn cold in the NE USA and Canada. We can park at home and plug in but where on the road???
