Morning Trent. I HATE IT when the truck gels up. Did you have any additive in it?

Nope, had 50/50 mix in there and this batch of bio seemed like it had a higher gel point. Started fine yesterday, and was going to put some Diesel Kleen in there last night but forgot... oh well. Think when I get it started after work, I will add at least 10 gallons of Diesel in there to get the ratio closer to 25% (and add Diesel Kleen).

Oh, yeah, I keep forgetting you're running bio. Going to change the filters in it?

Good morning South Dakota!! Trent, I supposed to change my fuel filters when the truck gels up. I guess it's all the wax/paraffin that gets in them.

Good morning Pat and all. Added 8 oz of Diesel Kleen and plugged it in for a half hour when I got home. Started right up. Put in 10 gallons of Diesel and it started right up again this morning.

Good Morning Steve. 50% of this batch was just too much for below zero temps. have run 20% at minus 20 also, but also had some anti gel in there also. Think that was the first time I ever had it gel up on me.

Still, at 20% it costs less to consume per mile!
