Winter Fuel

I'm down south of course--just wondering when to switch from the grey bottle to the white bottle on the diesel kleen?

I can usually spot that first tank of winter blend. The truck is a little grumpier on a cold start and mileage drops off a little. Can't really put a date to it here in LA (Lower Alabama

), it kinda varies a lot.

That would take the guess work out of it for sure. Wish we could have it like that.
