No gelling with fuel that had no white bottle DK in it for me. Truck started up pretty easily shook a bit and blew smoke BADLY for a minute or two then I took off and she blew white for a while then warmed up and was a-ok. And that wasn't plugged in.

I mix the white with the gray all winter just to be safe.
My truck ran fine this morning, it was 42* where it sleeps.

I'm not quite so religious with the gray bottle during the summer, but try to always remember the white during the winter. Truck is usually plugged in when I know I am taking it to work at 4:30am, and is at least in a car port removing it from the wind.

everything had howes stuff in it, but i think we had problems only because there was a truck we needed to unload in the cold. if not for that everything would have run perfectly.

Actually I think the cab light made it out unscathed. Pushed it into the roof though, i you didn't look to closely it almost looked stock
