Anyone having trouble with their fuel gelling up with the cold weather we are having. got down to -14 last night. my truck started and ran fine, but my boss, hie 7.3 got about two miles down the road and stalled on him. his diesel was gellin

I put a bottle of Howe's in every tank this time of year. In 4 years of owning a diesel, I've never had a problem with the fuel gelling.

Is #1 fuel not available where you guys are from? I don't really travel out of state too much so I'm not sure but that's all I run up here during the winter when it is below 20 or so and don't use any fuel additive. It was -50F here yesterday and the day before and I didn't have any problems.

We were -9F here in KC area last night and #1 is no where to be found that I can find it.

Huh... that's good to know if I ever decide to travel out of state in the winter time! Do they blend their fuel at all or do you guys just have straight #2 all year round? Guess I'm so used to having #1 up here I figured everyone else did too! ha

Just #2. I actually saw a little bit of blue smoke this morning. I was pugged in though so she started without any complaining.

I have never seen it around KC area...

When it gets below 0 I just do a double dose of the Powerservice to be safe.

What is Powerservice? Is it an additive you are running? If so, I am running Standyne so that would be why I am ok I guess. If not, please explain.

Thanks.
