gel question
Hey Guys,
Im up in the mountains tonight (i live in nc) and the temps are around 10 degrees f.
Do I need to worry about my fuel gelling? Im running diesel kleen in my fuel as well... Im on my phone so im having a hard time finding this info out...
Oh and also I do have the block heater plugged in as well... not sure if this matters..
Thanks,
Jason

There is only one way to find out....
Wait till morning.
If you have doubts, put it inside a garage / building
I reliably start at -4F without aid (heater), and with block heater, down to -40.
Synthetic oil.. antigel.. etc.

Don't get too **** about it... you are not in that cold a place.
I started the other day at -13C / 8F
Belched white smoke, clattered, then smoothed out in 30 secs... and then a few min later.. high idle...
I assume your batteries are in top shape
