I don't use the stuff at all. If it is that cold the engine stays running, and that keeps it from gelling.
The one time I did use, shortly after putting it in the truck stopped running because the water was separated out and it froze in all the fuel filters.Bean Jr. and truckdriver31 Thank this. -

I would be intereated to see how 90% Isopropyl Alcohol compares to these other products for gelling... I know it wont add lubricity or corrosion resistance, but would really like to see how it does against the others in the gelling department.
90% Isopropyl Alcohol is what I use for anti gell... And it has never let me down... 8 ounces treats 100 gallons, I will double that if I get southern fuel, or if temps are below -10°F.magoo68, truckdriver31 and Tx Countryboy Thank this. -
I love to watch unknown individuals with unknown qualifications invent "tests" on the internet.
The results are invalid. As TxCountryboy mentioned, and as all of the manufacturers of anti gel instruct on the label, the product must be stirred or agitated, which is done by the recirculation function in a class 8 diesel engine fuel system.
I will stick with recommendations provided by expert organizations like The Maintenance Council of the ATA or the engine/truck OEM'S themselves.Snake Farmer, Wheeljack and truckdriver31 Thank this.
