Any issues with gelling
Having driven trucks OTR for a living for almost 20 years and having had to deal with fuel gelling in the winter I was wondering if this is an issue with the diesel pickups or not? I came up with a fairly good solution for my semi that worked extremely well to solve this issue. I would purchase water heater elements and install them in the bottom of the fuel tank and would plug them in if I had to sit anywhere for extended periods of time with the truck shut off and it would keep the fuel warm enough to not gel up.

Don't know how well the plastic tanks will that they type
of heating. But you could look at some of the heating pads
and just keep them at a low modulation or on and off.
Most use anti-gel additives and really don't have a problem.
Well that is unless they get a surprise cold snap. Then there
is stuff like Diesel-911 to help get you to a point where you
can run and get the anti-gel additives in and time to work.
