I try to stay away from the pre-blended fuels as they are overkill. I normally blend mine with %10 #1 in the front tank for starting and then switch to #2 in the rear. As long as you have a good fuel heater you want have any problems.

If you have fuel gel symptoms try to pull over and let it idle. Reving the engine only draws more fuel through the filters... plugging them up. At least that's what I've always been told.

havent had any problems with fuel yet this year. its been in the teens here and no problems. the guy ive been getting B20 from buys it winterized. I try to always use a bio blend if I can find it. but its not easy to get. especially in winter. still considering the possibility of making it.
