I don't know why your buddy would have problems with the anti gel it was more likely the fuel he was buying. But hey I could be wrong been there before. Also I don't think that windchill has much to do with temperatures if its fuel or steel that we are talking about. once the temp. hits -30 the steel or fuel will get to -30 the windchill will only cool something that is producing heat like us.

The only reason that I mentioned wind chill was to make a point that -30 was the temperature and that the wind chill was not a factor in this temperature. If you have ever been to Wyoming you know that the wind blows constantly in most areas and it actually feels colder than it is.
You bring up a good point about the fuel but he was buying at the same place that I was.

anti gel

I had my fuel gel in my 2000 F350 when it was -25F, the truck shook violently, I would strongly suggest using anti gel when it gets that cold, its possible that they are adding some to the fuel at the stations in your area for the big rigs ?? I had to let the truck idle for a while then had a buddy get me some power service, since adding the power service ant gel have never seen the problem come up again. I use the power service year round now, the motor is quieter and seems to have more power with it.. Spoke to a oil burner tech
and some people up here in NH have thier oil tanks outside, if they dont add anti gel no heat.. The fuel gels , Oil burner oil and diesel are pretty much the same ..
